Draping lightly in Organic Cotton

The project was about re-imaging the kala cotton saree in every aspect. ( kala cotton is an organic strain of cotton indigenous to the Kutch region of India.) A usual Kala cotton saree weighs about 900 grams. The main objective for this project was to achieve a lighter saree.This was achieved by varying denting patterns for the saree. The sarees were woven on a frame loom by Mohan Vankar, a weaver from Awadhnagar, in collaboration with Khamir.

The final weight of the saree  achieved  by the end of this project was 580 grams. The saree was much lighter and  breathable .
