Handloom Anwa saree | Turquoise

From the sun-drenched looms of Anwa, Rajasthan, comes a saree that holds the calm of monsoon skies and the clarity of flowing water. The Turquoise Anwa Handloom Saree is a rare blend of traditional artistry and contemporary elegance. Woven by hand using mercerized cotton and timeless techniques, this saree speaks softly—but with unmistakable grace.

Turquoise is a shade that brings together peace, power, and poise. This saree embodies that spirit, crafted for women who value authenticity, subtle luxury, and India’s living textile traditions.

The Anwa Weaving Cluster – Where Threads Are Guided by Generations
In the heart of Rajasthan, the Anwa weaving cluster continues a legacy carried forward through quiet skill and deep patience. Here, artisans work on hand-operated looms using methods passed down within families—not from instruction books, but through daily practice and shared memory.

The saree is woven using the extra weft technique on dobby and jala mechanisms, allowing the artisan to insert zari buti (motifs) directly into the structure of the fabric—not added later, but part of its foundation. The base fabric is made with 2/80 cotton yarn in the warp and 2/40 single cotton in the weft, mercerized for a soft texture and mild sheen.

Each saree takes days to finish, a result of rhythmic labor and hands that understand the delicate balance of thread and tension.

The Serenity of Turquoise
Turquoise stands at the intersection of green and blue—a colour found in nature’s most peaceful places: still lagoons, ceramic tiles of ancient Indian temples, and the domes of desert mosques. It is cooling, refreshing, and deeply rooted in cultural heritage.

In this saree, the turquoise base allows the subtle shimmer of zari butis to stand out gracefully, while the striped aanchal (pallu) adds texture and flow to the drape. It's a shade that complements all skin tones and is perfect for summer gatherings, cultural events, and everyday elegance.

Soft, breathable, and light on the skin, this saree is made for all-day comfort without compromising on elegance.

Why Choose Handloom Over Machine-Made Sarees?
Mass-produced sarees may be consistent, but they lack story. The Turquoise Anwa Saree is woven slowly, purposefully. Each motif is inserted manually, and every saree carries the touch of the weaver’s hand.

These aren’t just products—they’re heirlooms of culture and effort. Unlike machine-made fabrics, which are smooth but impersonal, this saree has subtle irregularities that signify real handwork—making each piece unique.

Care Instructions
To maintain its natural beauty and longevity:

✧ Hand wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent

✧ Do not soak or bleach

✧ Dry in shade to protect color and fiber integrity

✧ Iron on the reverse side using medium heat

✧ Store in a cotton cloth to allow the fabric to breathe and age gracefully

With proper care, this saree will become even softer and more graceful over time.

It isn’t just worn—it’s carried with pride, grace, and meaning.
