Where To Shop For Patola Lehengas & Sarees!

Patola saris and lehengas not only pop because of their unique pattern, but are now considered a precious piece of inheritance, which can be passed down several generations. After all, there is an incredible level of skill and intricacy that goes into making it! Very popular in Gujarat, Patola is a double ikat weave made only in silk. It can take six months to a year or more to make a single patola sari, so you can imagine the hardwork and labour that goes into it!

Styling Your patola
Here are some ideas on how to wear and style this iconic fabric.
- Since Patola sarees are very busy, they look best with a plain classic silk blouse. Getting a border on the blouse stitched in the same design as the sari, or keeping the colour in contrast is a great way to bring out the beauty of the saree.
- Patola can be an investment, like any other nice silk saree. If you want to see if its something that's your style, start off small by investing in a dupatta. They look amazing paired with solid coloured kurtas.
- Gold jewellery looks best with a Patola saree, and so does silver.
- A crop top or shirt blouse with a Patola lehenga looks amazing for a Mehendi.
