2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Rooted in the heritage-rich soils of Rajasthan, Kota Doria weaving dates back to the 17th century—originally crafted for royalty seeking cool, elegant attire in scorching heat. The fabric’s signature checkered ‘khats’ (squares) are woven using a unique interlacing of silk and cotton threads, though our version uses pure cotton for everyday luxury. At Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi, we honor this legacy by collaborating directly with master block printers in Bagru and Sanganer, preserving centuries-old techniques while infusing contemporary silhouettes. Each piece tells a story of patience, precision, and cultural pride.
