POSHAAK (detailed process about the garment)
We will go into detail in explaining our Nui Shibori process. While there are many Nui Shibori sarees available everywhere, most lack the intensity & design aesthetics; possibly this is why, despite being a beautiful art that attracts many, Nui Shibori has also seen a clutter of unfinished or less finished products that render the buyer confused about the quality.
Our Nui Shibori designs are first designed on paper, and the traced on fabric. The fabric is given more folds while creating resist pattern to increase the intensity of the design. To create resist on so many folds, a thicker needle, than usual, is used to do embroidery on the traced pattern (embroidery is done via sewing machine). Please note that these 2 steps - more folds & thicker needle that penetrates the folds - are critical to create the intense design pattern of Nui Shibori.
If the needle does not penetrate all layers, then you cannot see the clear holes on the fabric that are the mark & beauty of Nui (Embroidery) Resist.
Post embroidery, the embroidery threads are meticulously pulled to create resist (since we use very premium fabrics, this process takes time as a careless pulling can damage the fabric).
The dye is filtered thrice; this step is another important step, as Shibori is about colour textures on resist tie & dye. The smoother the pigment, the more beautiful will be the end result.
After dying, the threads of resist are meticulously pulled out, another laborious process, as one wrong pull will render the whole saree damaged. The saree is then washed in salted water to fix the colour & dried.
Our Shibori sarees win hearts wherever they go. They are stunning and intense in their design palette. The colour used in this saree is Indigo pigment mixed with Purple pigment which makes the saree give a mix of both colours in different lights!! A truly remarkable saree.
Please Note that Linen is a thermostatic fabric & absorbs & reflects back colour according to its nature. In white light the colour will carry deep Indigo Hue, & in Yellow light, its Purples will come out. This is the nature of both the colour & fabric and its beauty. Please factor this in when making the purchase.
Please Note: Slight wrinkles are part of Pure Linen texture. Linen is the most low maintenance fabric. Ideally before draping this saree, take it out and spread it and hang somewhere at least a day before; its wrinkles will smoothen significantly. Mostly it should be worn with slight wrinkles, yet if you wish to iron the dhobi press will be fine, with a cloth on top.
