Craft & Story

Kota silk, also known as Kota Doria or Kota Dori, is a lightweight, sheer fabric originating from Kota, Rajasthan, India. It is made from a blend of cotton and silk yarns, woven on traditional pit looms to create a distinctive checkered or square pattern called "khat." Kota silk sarees are prized for their airy texture, delicate drape, and vibrant colors, making them popular choices for both casual and formal wear, especially in warm climates. Dupion silk stripes refer to silk fabric with a striped pattern that is created using the dupion silk weaving technique. Dupion silk, also known as douppioni or dupioni, is characterized by its irregular texture and shimmering surface, resulting from the use of silk threads with varying thicknesses. When stripes are woven into dupion silk fabric, they create a visually appealing contrast and texture, making it suitable for a variety of garments and upholstery applications.
