Kanchipuram Printed Silk                            

Kanchipuram Silk Sarees are traditional and unique and these lustrous elegant handloom sarees are handwoven by the master weavers.  The Kanchipuram Printed Silk Sarees are masterpieces as well but there is a difference between these sarees and the traditional sarees.  Known for the rich palette of colors with luminous textures and ornate designs and intricate patterns inspired by nature and culture, these silk sarees are symbols of impeccable craftsmanship. The pure gold and silver zaris and the temple borders in contrasting colors are some of the typical characteristics of a Kanchipuram silk saree. While these sarees are steeped in tradition and culture, adding a contemporary and creative twist is the Kanchipuram Printed Silk Saree that blends together the craftsmanship of the weavers and the skill of the artisans. 

In these sarees, weaving and printing, two fascinating handcrafted skills come together and blend to create a fascinating saree.  While Kanchipuram silk sarees are known for the ornate and intricate weaves that create patterns on the body of a saree, the printed silk sarees showcase designs that are printed directly on the fabric. A plain Kanchipuram silk saree with zari border is later embellished with various prints like kalamkari or block print to create an elegant crafted saree which is unique in its own way. This is the contemporary yet traditional Kanchipuram Printed Silk Sarees.

Printed Silk sarees are known for their lustrous and smooth fabric with beautiful designs and patterns imprinted on them. The original handcrafted process is referred to as block printing. A beautiful design, perhaps of colorful flowers and birds or abstract geometric patterns is first created on a paper stencil and this is later transferred on to the silk saree using the traditional block printing method. In present days, digital printing is also done. While the silk saree is then dyed with natural colors to create a stunning new blend of saree. The colors are vibrant and the designs are bold creating a unique tapestry.  The sarees are lightweight, contemporary, and yet retain a traditional look.
