Exploring Sustainable Saree Fabrics

With the festive and wedding season approaching, the search for distinctive and sustainable traditional attire continues. The latest collection, “Unkahi,” offers a range of sarees crafted from unconventional textiles like tissues, organic silk, and organic gold threads. These sarees embody elegance, femininity, and cultural pride.

This conscious label, based in Jaipur, has a strong design philosophy centered on comfort and intricacy. The designers draw inspiration from art, culture, architecture, craftsmanship, landscapes, vintage art, and travel experiences. Their designs focus on reviving local crafts using sustainable and eco-friendly techniques.

The collection pays homage to sustainable fashion trends deeply rooted in Indian culture, celebrating the concept of slow fashion, which is integral to India’s heritage.

One notable aspect of this collection is the limited production of each garment style, ensuring top-notch quality. Customized and express orders are also available for clients in need of specific pieces on short notice.

Regarding the color palette, the collection draws inspiration from wedding colors, featuring hues like rust, yellow, orange, rose red, and more. Skilled artisans in Rajasthan craft these pieces with great care, using traditional techniques such as marodi work, zardosi, gota patti, and others.

Looking ahead, there are plans for upcoming collections that will transport saree enthusiasts on a journey through different cities in Rajasthan, each collection capturing the essence of its respective location.
