My first Kalamkari…. From Dwaraka. Bought some years ago when I stumbled into Dwaraka out of curiosity. Picked up the most subtle one, came back and read about Kalamkari and the great work Anita Reddy is doing and fell in love with it. I have another black half and half in crepe, which is even more awesome. This one is a chiffon. Interestingly one of my male colleagues observed that only 2 people in the office wear sarees regularly and one of them was me. And he was quite pained by the fact saying that it was sad that so few women wore them. More talk and I realised he knows quite a bit about sarees, weaves and textures. Apparently comes from a family of wholesale textile dealer from TN. So here’s to the sareepact and hope more of them take to it !
