Bengal and South Cotton Sarees

Beautiful South Cotton Saree


"I couldn't believe anything could rival my love of Bengal handlooms … until I came across South Cotton sarees." 

South Cotton Sarees

Cotton sarees in the southern part of India are known for being soft, having good texture and a lot adornments. These sarees are because of their light weight, airy feel and all-day comfort. Many women prefer to wear a cotton saree on account of the feel and comfort. 

The South cotton saree is quite popular as summer wear for being suitably light and comfortable. They come in a vast range of colours and adornments, and can easily go from workplace to a formal dinner.

Handloom clusters of south India are known for unique weaving, regional motifs, traditional zari or thread borders with very elegant pallus.

The Appeal of South Cotton Sarees

Pure, mercerized (which is strong and have a lustre), gicha and unbleached cotton are some variants used in weaving. South Cotton sarees are cheaper than pure silk and easy to maintain. Cotton is a moderately strong natural fibre that is soft, airy, comfortable, and has little to no lustre. It has good acceptability for any colour of dye, affords good comforting feel, keeps the body cool in summer and warm in winter.
