Black Silk Hand Woven Sari

Tiny mirror work scatters across the sheer pallu of this hand-woven silk sari, framed by a bold contrast border that runs the length of the drape. The plain body falls smooth and unbroken, finished with a woven edge and tasselled ends. Ideal for celebrations and festive gatherings, pair it with a fitted Fabindia blouse and jhumkas for a finished look.

Craft Details

The seemingly simple technique of interlacing threads on a handloom has resulted in a richness and diversity of woven textiles in India, which few other societies can match. Generations of skilled weavers have produced fabrics using a variety of hand-operated looms and varied combinations and permutations of the weft and warp threads. Each of these fabrics possesses a characteristic.
