Made slowly, by hand
Some sarees are defined by the hours that go into their surface. These are finished by hand with gota patti, mirrors, beads and latkans, and they reward a second look up close.
Gota patti chiffons come in white, mehndi green, red and highlighter yellow, and several are available pre-draped. Our metallic satins in black, lilac, wine and mint carry mirror and cut dana hand beading along the borders. For a family wedding, the pink and yellow Gajji silk ombre is the piece we'd save for.
There's a level for every plan. Beaded crepes and organzas are lovely for a Diwali card party. Hand beaded metallic satins suit sangeet and reception nights, while the silk and Gajji pieces belong at the wedding itself.
Beaded sarees weigh a little more than plain drapes, so a pre-draped version keeps the pleats steady and saves you pinning. Keep everything else calm: matching beaded blouse fabric, a neat bun, minimal jewellery. Gota is a love of ours, and there's more in our gota patti pieces.
Good to know
What is gota patti work?
It's a Rajasthani technique where strips of metallic ribbon are cut and appliquéd onto fabric in patterns, often with embroidery around them.
Are hand beaded sarees heavy?
A little heavier than plain drapes. All-over jaal pieces weigh more than those beaded only at the border.
How do I store a beaded saree?
Lay it flat or loosely folded in a cloth bag, so the beads keep their shape and don't snag. Dry cleaning is the safest choice.
