Parvai Silk Sari : Kamala
Kamala | Handwoven Silk Sari
Kamala draws from the traditional South Indian vocabulary of checks and borders, with a body of two-inch woven checks framed by broad borders featuring fine Thuthiripoo lines. The pallu is detailed with Thazhampoo twill bands, bringing a measured balance of pattern, texture and proportion to the sari.
Woven in Karnataka Mulberry Silk with a 2ply warp and 2ply weft, Kamala weighs approximately 650 grams. The silk offers a balance of softness and structure, with a pleasing weight that helps the pleats hold their shape while allowing the fabric to fall in generous, natural folds. The broad borders lend definition to the silhouette, and the pallu settles comfortably over the shoulder. Conceived for regular wear, Kamala has the substance of a traditional silk sari without the elaborate ornamentation associated with ceremonial weaves.
Designed by Parvai as a recreation project from an exisitng sari and handwoven by Shravan in based in a Parvai weaving unit in Vishar , the sari involves approximately 15 days of pre-loom preparation and 12 days of weaving. It measures 5.5 meters by 49 inches and includes a contiuation blouse

Care & Product Notes
A few things we would like you to know
Care
Air your Parvai sari after wear and store it in a clean cotton or muslin cover, away from direct sunlight, moisture and plastic. Refold it from time to time so that the same creases do not remain under stress, especially along zari-rich borders and pallus. Heavier saris are best stored folded or gently rolled rather than hung for long periods. Clean only when necessary, preferably through a trusted specialist familiar with fine silk and handwoven textiles.
Handwoven Character
Every Parvai textile is handmade and may carry slight variations in weave, texture, colour, motif placement, finish or dimensions. These are natural to the making process and are part of the textile’s character, not defects. Measurements and weights are approximate.
