2 - Lightweight Ilkal Reimagined Silk Saree w. Kasuti

Imagine the Jugalbandi between the weaver and the designer, both on equal footing, a slow build-up and the tempo rising, reaching a crescendo to finally create this gem. The designer's vision, passion to reassure the traditional weaves, techniques and reimagining them in a new look and the weaver's ability to execute with skill and finesse and bring to life the imaginations, bringing to you an exceptionally amazing drape in the form of the lightweight Ilkal saree! 

So easy to wear and so light, this unique piece is woven on handloom (pitloom) and made of 100% mulberry silk, this saree sports a Gadi-Dadi border and quintessential tope teni pallu. To make this all the more brilliant, you will find stunningly done Kasuti hand embroidery through the body of the saree. KaleNele works hand in hand with a NGO based on Dharward to train women from distressed backgrounds on Kasuti and provide them an opportunity to a sustainable livelihood to build their lives onwards and upwards. This comes with a coordinated pure mulberry silk Khunn blouse fabric of 1 meter.
