technologies and also hand woven by people in
the southern part of India. They produce a wide
range of products which include plain-color silk
fabrics, both smooth texture and rough texture,
silk fabrics with corrugated patterns, spun
checks, solids, stripes, silk with beadwork,
embroidery and blocks to name a few.
“Why Indian Silk”?
India is one of the leading producers of silk,
also known for its famous silk weaving enclaves. Silk has been intermingled
with the life and culture of the Indian people. The
artistic and aesthetic sense of Indian weavers
is not content with striking colors they choose
for the fabrics, but lies in their mastery over
the creation of floral designs, beautiful
textures, fine geometry and the durability of
such work. The weaver not only weaves with yarn
but with intense feeling and emotion. For
Indians, particularly ladies, silk is lifeline –
the elixir. Silk is interwoven with the way of
life and culture of this region. The traditional
handloom silk always score over the power loom
silk in the richness of their textures and
designs, in their individuality, character and
classic beauty. Handloom weaving remains a
symbol of versatility and creativity of living
craft. Today, Indian silk, especially the
handloom products, remain the most beautiful and
cherished the world over. |
