Sari Style
8
Shashti (day 6 of Navratri) celebrations saw Ms. Mukerji attended a pandal wearing a double ikat Patola sari paired with a temple-style gold necklace. She had me at the sari!
P.S. Patan, Gujarat is know for its double ikat patola saris that take months to weave. Unfortunately, so many double ikat patolas are now made outside of Patan, and so I cannot confirm if this is from Patan. Need to get confirmation.

Rani’s has been in possession of this temple-style jewellery for some time now 🙂

it’s a statement jewelry – not a piece of cake – of course it’ll be in possession for decades
Gorg! Love the look from head to toe. So pretty. Such a beautiful saree and perfectly styled.
Ah– Rani back to what Rani does best. Fabulous! Love that she repeats her personal pieces of jewelry. The saree is fab — could be a designer Pochampally too.
Why is it unfortunate if Patan is not the only producer of Ikat? There are other centres for ikat in India, Patan, Rajkot, Pochampally and in Orissa. There could be double/single ikats from both Patan and Pochampalli – I haven’t seen double ikats from Orissa so far. The Patan and Rajkot ones are called Patola – Patan patolas are wildly overpriced compared to Pochampally ikats. So I think it’s just as well if others are making this amazing art form
The Pasapalli chessboard design of Odisha is double Ikat. The unfortunate part is vendors nowadays are selling ikats made outside of Patan as Patan Patola. The misrepresentation is that bad part.
Ok, got it, thanks for clarifying
