Beautiful, authentic saree from an upscale artsy store called Jharonka. The brand is Pipal Tree. While Kalamkari is traditional, this saree is a trendy half and half style. Half the saree is threee bands of color, black, mustard and red. The second half is hand-painted kalamkari. Kalamkari uses natural dyes which do not carry a brighter look like artificial dyes. These natural ones might fade a little over a period of time without losing their hand-painted elegance. Screen and digitally printed ones look perfect whereas authentic hand-painted kalamkari has irregularities and minor stains as they are being hand-painted by artisans. It is the irregularity and imperfection that add more beauty to authentic Kalamkari. This saree is a work of art. Purple opaque Loc
