Patan patola saris range from $1,500 to $8,500. Instead of designs being embroidered onto the textile, Patan patola requires them to be dyed onto the silk threads themselves. Both horizontal and vertical threads are dyed, then cross-woven to reveal the design. The most complex designs can take one and a half years of manual work to complete.

Why Patan Patola Saris Are So Expensive | So Expensive | Insider Business
Practically indistinguishable from a machine made one
Insider business is filling the gap of Indian documentaries in my life instead of the Indian media????????
This is unnecessary work these days and it should be automated in one way or another … it doesn't make sense to do it all manually and price is also out of the butt. It's not how we should be doing things as humans. It's pointless. I wouldn't feel "better" just because I've paid tons of money for very hard, meticulous and unrequired work to make something as simple as a cloth with more combined pattern.
As a Gujarati I'm proud that such authentic art pieces are made here in my state ❤
Glad to know that the skills to make the sarees are still alive!
But if you're white you better not buy and wear one or else other white people will get upset for cultural appropriation… Seriously though that's some incredible work and I wish people would let people wear things they like.
~~~when I was alive back then I fell in love with a high priestess A1 in the last temples of its kind the love that I had for her I live inside myself as a yogini AJ yoga cream meditation and ancient Indian acting dance with mudras. I understand that reality and money are two separate things but the place of the mind and the value of the soul is where things are actualized pre matera~~~
Now i know why they smell soo bad!
SHEIN, no matter how many ads you will show me, I WILL NEVER DOWNLOAD AND BUY FROM YOUR APP! YOU THIEF! ????
Hats off to those labourers who make wonder on these saris.
~~~I remember the way that India looked in 800 BC and the houses and the class of brahmins and the mail in the females and their rituals and rites because I was studying under some high-level yogis and reading their scriptures and I got to stay at some of their houses and watch the people go about in their wealth and knowledge~~~
This is really need to be applaused.❤
This art is very beautiful and I think this is good art. Makes me remember similar art, but originating from Japan. Named Kurume Gasuri(Kurume Pongee), a weaving & coloring art originating from Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.
The complexity of the motive to be made. Starting from spinning threads, coloring threads, to arranging them into unique and artistic motifs. No wonder the price is so expensive.
It's expensive because it takes several months to make
Q kar rahe ho bhyi itni mehnat mat Karo yaarr !
8000 USD Really who in india can afford that??
Never have i ever heard about patan patola saree. I'm from Kerala. I only knew kanjivaram and banarasi ones. New knowledge.thx business insider for exploring my nation, so I can access more info into my culture and traditions. Please consider a video on Kalaripayattu (martial art of kerala)… and Ayurveda.
So beautiful! Good to see bags and possibly other objects, maybe that’s what they do with the fabric from a sari they have to pull from production due to too many broken threads. Please start telling us how we can contact these companies!
How does this proces affect the looks compared to dying after woving
Silk is already expensive????
And this is more expensive ????
