Blending the rhythm of shoreline waves with vivid heritage checks, Rama reimagines tradition through a contemporary lens. Woven in the intricate Phera technique, the fluid wave-inspired borders soften the structured geometry of the drape, creating a balance between movement and precision. Rich handcrafted textures flow seamlessly across the saree, bringing depth and rhythm to the weave. Rooted in the spirit of slow travel, the saree transitions effortlessly across occasions while reflecting Kosala’s vision of heritage textiles designed for the modern, global wardrobe.
Technique
Phera is a three-shuttle weaving technique that interlocks the weft of the body of the fabric with the weft of the borders on both sides. This technique is used to create simple straight borders as well as intricate temple borders on saris. Due to its complexity, it requires two weavers to work together in sync. The term "Phera," which means "turn around," refers to the shuttle turning at the point where the two wefts intersect.
