My Story

Universe confined in the figurative lines;
Achieving a well-formed design in its sector,
Expansion of space with increasing entropy,
Cosmos defined through this process of venture

What she feels

Fabricated to express her mood, persona, and panache along with alluring emblems, this benign saree is ornamented with motifs inspired by whimsical whirls of art and nature.

This chanderi silk saree is crafted with Dabu Handblock Indigo printing. This process starts with  soaking indigo plant to extract the beautiful vibrant dye. Hand-carved wooden blocks are used for applying a mud resist known to the fabric. Once the fabric has been dyed, the areas with the mud application, continue to remain white and the rest of the fabric takes on the dynamic hues of lapis lazuli, cerulean midnight, all originating from the indigo plant.

Most people experience fading or bleeding of the indigo fabric, which is primarily because of indigo will not actually form a chemical bond with the fabric into which it is dyed. It ends up becoming insoluble again when put into water. By reacting with air, it tends to get accumulated in the tiny spaces within the fiber.
