Popular Pochampally Ikat Fabric Sarees

Soft, luxurious, and beautiful. These are the words that come to mind when thinking about the Pochampally sarees and Pochampally ikkat dresses made in Bhoodan Pochampally, India. The name is derived from the two Telugu words, “pochampalli” and “bhoodan"" which means a village where weavers live.

Pochampally and Ikat fabric

For centuries, the art of silk weaving has been a part of the culture and heritage of Pochampally. Pochampally silk dress materials are also known as ikat, a type of dyeing technique that results in beautiful patterns on silk and cotton fabrics. The ikkat cotton fabric is first dyed using a resist dyeing process on either the warp or weft fibers before weaving yarns into cloth. This gives the textiles a distinctive look, with a pattern that is blurred from one side to the other.

The ikat process is not easy. It typically takes several weeks to create, which is why it's so expensive. We take great pride in our Pochampally cotton dress materials and sarees because they represent so much work and talent.

Designs of Pochampally

The word ""pochampally"" literally translates to ""basket of flowers,"" which perfectly describes this gorgeous silk weave.
