Patola Sarees
The pride of Gujarat, Patola sarees are synonymous with aristocracy. There was a time when these double ikat silk sarees were worn only by royalty because the common man could not afford them. Even today, these exclusive pieces can take about six months to a year to make depending on the intricacy of the work. Patola weaving still remains a closely-guarded secret that only a handful of families in the town of Patan, Gujarat know about.
