Material: Georgette Silk A member of the pure silk family, georgette is a variant of pure crepe silk. The translucent nature of the fabric makes it well-suited for an evening out or a spring day. Georgette has a gauzy feel and comes in different grammages which contribute to the elegant fall of the fabric. These pure fabrics have an excellent ability to absorb colour, offering numerous colour permutations to the designer. At Sakhi, one can find georgette, sporting elegant hand-block prints. This silk is perfect for an evening out or for a beautiful day. This versatile fabric features a half n half concept with Kalamkari hand painting only in the bottom half, pallu and blouse.

Craft: Kalamkari Hand Painting Kalamkari means literally drawing with a pen, sarees featuring the kalamkari craft have been adorned by women over the ages. There are two distinct styles of kalamkari - Srikalahasti and Machalipatnam. The fabric gets its glossiness from its immersion in milk and resin. Kalamkari fabrics are created in seventeen steps, using only natural dyes, with numerous washes. Typically, the motifs capture the essence of temple architecture and scenes from great epics. Sakhi borrows from this craft and brings alive the soul of kalamkari with fashionable designs. The motifs are inspired by peacock and nature.
