Story 

She must see the world. All that she did ended in one eternal wish — the wish to explore. Her mind wandered from the present into the future. She could wilfully position herself in far off lands. Sometimes, it was a hamlet in the hills. Sometimes, a part of the Maghreb region of Africa. And sometimes, she was just under the sky — in an unknown town of a lesser-known city.

Free as a bird, she was just beginning to fly into the vast azure. But her aspirations were rooted in one belief. She felt safe knowing that wherever she is, she’s being watched by the sky. A blue patchwork quilt woven by her Nani up there.

Feel at home with your deepest desires in this blue saree made of Kota cotton, featuring hand-embroidered Chikankari work.  

Description

Kota cotton fabric is renowned for its softness, light weight and ease of wear. It is made using an open weave with fine checks, which are called ‘khats’. This weave ensures that the resultant fabric is airy and comfortable. This Kota cotton fabric forms the base of these sarees, which are further embellished with Lucknowi chikankari work. Chikankari is a style of embroidery that has its roots in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The word 'chikan' is derived from the Persian word 'chikeen'. In its most traditional form, chikankari work reflects the influence of the intricate carving patterns found in Mughal architecture. The legacy of chikan work in Lucknow dates back to more than 200 years.
