THE JOURNEY OF PAITHANI SAREE
Sarees as fashion attire have
always been the epitome of elegance and beauty. Whatever the occasion –
festive, bridal, casual or formal – sarees make a statement like no other. At Swamini
Sarees, the rising demand for this style speaks for itself. Sarees are now as
exclusive as possible.
The garment's history is in the
Indus Valley Civilization and is associated with cotton cultivation in India. Made
from diverse materials like cotton and silk to chiffon, the regional handlooms
fascinate the buyer. You find a range from Kanjeevaram, Patola, Banarasi, and
Bhagalpuri to Ikat, Chanderi, Mekhala and more. The designs, patterns, materials
used, and methods of working and wearing them differ in each state. Now
designer sarees have become a niche market too.
Paithani is one such saree from
Maharashtra that rules the minds of saree lovers. Every Maharashtrian bride
wears a Paithani for her special day, while ladies prefer just Paithani to look
their best.
This hand-woven silk saree originally
comes from the town of Paithan in Maharashtra. The Peshwas boosted textiles in
Paithan, which was famous for its trade in zari and silk. From Mughal Emperor
Aurangzeb to the Nizams of Hyderabad, the royal patronage made Paithan the heart
of Maharashtra textile culture. The industry later shifted to Yeola in Nashik,
Maharashtra and is now the centre of Paithani sarees.
Fashionistas and saree lovers
know Paithanis characteristics. While the body has small designs, the Padar or
Pallu has a zari work with motifs of leaves, flowers and peacock. The Kath
consists of intricately drawn motifs and ends in the Padar. Paithanis are silk
sarees. The only exception is less use of gold in zari work and replacing it
with silver for affordability. The high-end sarees can contain gold work.
The unique designs include vine
& flowers, peacocks, petals, fan, parrots, floral, paisleys, etc. Another
feature is the use of colours like Bottle Green, Golden Yellow, Red, Bright Blue,
Peacock Blue, Silver Grey, Orange, Peach-pink, Black-white Blend, Aubergine
Purple and White. Women can opt for six or nine-yard or nauvari Paithanis. Depending
on the materials used, design and labour, the Paithani is priced.
