Paithani Fabrics - Royal Threads

Paithani fabric by the metre opens the door to one of India's most ancient and regal silk weaving traditions — the handwoven pure silk of Paithan in Maharashtra, where artisans have been creating this extraordinary fabric for over 2,000 years using techniques that have remained virtually unchanged since the time of the Satavahana dynasty. Paithani fabric is instantly recognisable by its characteristic oblique interlocking tapestry weave, its vibrant jewel-toned colours, and its iconic peacock, lotus, and vine motifs woven in real zari. Available by the metre, Paithani fabric allows designers and textile lovers to bring the grandeur of Maharashtra's royal silk heritage into their own creations.
