#100SareePact- 4/100 a Maharashtrian weave crafted by AWWA ladies from my father and father inlaw's Maratha regiment. It's got an earthy handloom feel. It is a very innovative design, I must say. Kudos to these simple, often not highly educated ladies who hail from remote villages in India and join their husbands in faraway regiments, shy and demure but a little encouragement and intervention, and they transform into confident and creative bundles of enterprise. Everytime I drape this saree, I marvel at this very unusual combination, turquoise and maroon, a fine check body and a traditional border, on top of that very subtle maroon embroidery booti all over. Everyone always compliments it. Paired here with my turquoise beads from Leh. I call it my Suchitra Sen look!
