The dyeing process is a combination of a unique process that involves careful calculation and vivid imagination. The double ikkat weave lends the same feel and texture on both sides, even the color and the intensity are the same.  

 

Patola comes from the Sanskrit word ‘pattakulla’, meaning silk fabric. The patola craft can be traced 11 centuries back, when the Salvi Community, all 700 of them moved from Maharashtra and Karnataka under the Solanki Dynasty, to Patan, Gujarat. It was King Kumarpala’s love for the exquisite fabric that resulted in the exodus of the weavers. King Kumarpala was so enamored by it that he wore a new patola every day on his way to the temple. Patan patola holds a key position in the cultural heritage of India. With its vibrant hues, intricate designs, and exquisite craftsmanship it is synonymous with the very world of luxury.
