Patola
sarees are traditional weaves from Gujarat, India. These expensive fabrics were
once worn by royalty and aristocracy.
The Patola
weave on sarees
There are
two types of patola depending upon the pattern. The Rajkot Patola which is of
single ikkat weave and the double ikkat Patan Patola. Patola fabrics are
renowned for their colorful diversity and geometrical style. To create a patola
fabric, both the warp and weft threads are tie-dyed according to the desired
pattern on the final woven fabric. In traditional single ikat, only one of them
is dyed. The bundles of thread are knotted before being dyed, so that the
points where the bundles are tied, the thread resists the color. The weaving is
done on traditional hand looms, and vegetable dyes are traditionally used.
Patola weaves generally have motifs like animals, flowers, human figures and
birds in the basic design. Current trends have geometrical designs.
Single
versus double ikkat Patola weave
Single
ikkat fabrics have adornments of kundan work and zardozi in addition. The
fabric texture tends to be heavy with the ornate work done on it. Borders are
adorned with zari and patch borders with warm colors and rich motifs. The
double ikkat fabrics generally have motifs of parrots, flowers, elephants and
dancing figures, geometric and floral designs. Fabrics with plain dark colored
body and motifs of women and birds are treated as special variety
of Patola. Nowadays prints of traditional patola patterns are used as prints on
designer silk and art silk sarees.
