Handloom Anwa saree | Forest Green

In the weaving heartland of Anwa, Rajasthan, where tradition hums quietly through the threads of cotton, artisans continue to preserve an age-old craft. The Forest Green Anwa Handloom Saree is a tribute to this heritage — rich in culture, colour, and care. With its deep natural hue and hand-inserted zari motifs, this saree is woven not just to be worn but to be lived in.

Each fold speaks of thoughtful artistry, a connection to nature, and the patience of a weaver who understands rhythm, texture, and time.

A Craft Rooted in the Soil of Rajasthan
The Anwa weaving cluster is home to families that have practiced handloom weaving for generations. Without machines or short-cuts, these weavers work with dobby and jala mechanisms, guiding threads across wooden looms using nothing but their hands and experience.

This saree is crafted using the extra weft technique — a labor-intensive process where zari butis (small shimmering motifs) are inserted manually into the cotton fabric during weaving. The saree is made from 100% mercerized cotton, combining 2/80 warp threads and 2/40 single cotton in the weft, resulting in a smooth, breathable, and comfortable textile with a subtle sheen.

Every piece reflects hours of dedicated handwork, and no two sarees are exactly alike.

The Deep Allure of Forest Green
Forest green is a shade that connects us to the earth. It holds within it the richness of moss, the calm of the woods, and the balance of nature. In Indian culture, green symbolizes prosperity, growth, and balance — making this saree an ideal choice for pujas, ceremonies, weddings, or even a day of quiet self-celebration.

Set against this rich green backdrop, the zari butis gleam gently, offering elegance without ostentation. The striped aanchal (pallu) adds contrast and flow to the drape, creating a visual rhythm that feels both traditional and timeless.

Its understated grace makes it versatile — suitable for both formal and personal occasions.

The Handloom Difference
Unlike machine-made textiles, this saree is handwoven start to finish. The butis are not printed or stitched on—they are part of the fabric’s very construction. Each motif, stripe, and thread tension is guided by human touch, creating a tactile richness that no factory can replicate.

Machine-made sarees may look uniform, but they lack soul. In contrast, this saree carries the warmth and imperfections of real craftsmanship.

Care Instructions
To protect the saree’s beauty and durability:

✧ Hand wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent

✧ Avoid soaking, wringing, or bleaching

✧ Dry in the shade to maintain the colour and fabric quality

✧ Iron inside out on medium heat

✧ Store in a breathable cotton bag to avoid moisture and mildew

With each wear and wash, the saree becomes softer — a companion that grows with you.

This is not just a garment. It’s a story, a skill, and a statement — all woven into one beautiful piece.
