Kalamkari sarees are renowned for their intricate hand-painted or hand-block printed designs, which draw inspiration from traditional Indian art forms. The word Kalamkari is derived from the Persian words kalam, meaning pen, and kari, meaning work, reflecting the use of hand-drawn or hand-painted motifs.
Traditionally, Authentic Kalamkari paintings were done on tussar silks and then washed in milk to lock the natural dyes onto the fabric for longevity of the weave, and you can sniff the same on our weaves.
