Cotton Sarees

India is well known for its hot spells in the summer, a cotton saree is a much-preferred attire by many during this time. Cotton is one of those fabrics that is synonymous with comfort due to its soft and fluffy texture.

First discovered in the fifth millennium BC, the cotton saree has evolved into a stylish garment with unique designs. Whether you are out and about or simply lounging at home, a cotton saree is perfect for light and breezy wear.

Introduction and Different types of Cotton Sarees

There are countless fabrics that are used singularly and in multiplicity. Cotton sarees have also been tested with various clothing materials, creating fascinating products. The regions mentioned here are an example of this.

Kanchi Cotton

Kanchipuram, or Kanjeevaram, is a city surrounded by divinity and royalty. These attributes are best represented in their weaving of silk sarees. The Kanchi cotton sarees, like the silk ones, aim to replicate the radiance of this city through motifs and patterns. These handloom cotton sarees have designs that depict the temple structures, fruits, and animals seen in this city.

Bengal Cotton

This eastern state close to the bay of Bengal produces a variety of handwoven sarees. From the many that are available, the ‘tant’ and ‘jamdani’ sarees are known for their pure cotton quality. These lightweight handloom sarees tend to have a thick border with relatively plain or drop-like motifs across the body. Some of these bengal cotton sarees are a mixture of silk and cotton, giving them a glossy effect.

Dhakai Cotton

Bangladesh, a neighbor and a former part of Bengal, was a part of textile trading with the Mughals. The trade included fabrics such as muslin, silk, and cotton. The Dhakai cotton sarees, formerly known as jamdani, still have a hint of Bengali motifs and designs mixed with the uniqueness of Dhaka. The designs on these handloom cotton sarees are inspired by folk art, nature, and symbols of the region. 

 

Rasipuram Cotton

Mangalagiri Cotton

An ‘auspicious hill’ residing in the Guntur district, the town is famous for the Lord Naramisha temple and its beautiful weaves. Mangalagiri fabrics are woven using pit looms with a special warp and weft interlacing technique.

Silk Cotton

They wove two kinds of sarees namely, koorai and kandaangi. Kandaangi sarees are also called the Chettinad cotton sarees.

Kadapa Cotton

A southern district in Andhra Pradesh, Kadapa or Cuddapah is a growing region with many businesses. The government encourages handloom cotton sarees weavers in this district through subsidies that act as a stamp of quality.

The silk sarees of Benaras are notable for their gold zari and motifs with dark and bright contrasts. Similarly, the Benarasi cotton sarees have also gained recognition for their pastel shades lined with beige patterns. 

Embroidered Cotton

Cotton sarees are opted for by many for its skin friendliness and ability to absorb sweat easily.  Linen cotton sarees possess the same qualities. A mixed textured saree is always a strong combination for durability, linen helps with this by adding smoothness. These weaves create a plain body that can be experimented upon with embroidery and printed patterns. 

Blends

Blended cotton sarees or semi-cotton sarees are a ‘blend’ or mixture of cotton with different fabrics such as Terra or Polyester.
