Shopping online for Paithani Sarees can be challenging unless you’re reading this. If you are on this page, rest assured that you have come across one of the most revered collections of online Paithani Sarees to ever grace the web.

Paithani Sarees are some of the most sought-after types of sarees. This is because a Paithani Saree, named after the town of Aurangabad in Maharashtra, is traditionally made using the finest quality of silk. This is why these sarees are so light and yet so comfortable to wear during the winter months. These qualities make the Paithani Saree an ideal choice for Indian wedding functions that usually take place during peak winter months.

The amazing thing is, that comfort is not the only reason behind the popularity of Paithani Sarees. The intricate craftsmanship that goes into making these sarees is actually the real reason they fly off the shelves in no time. The difficult yet rewarding method of weaving threads of two different colours, a technique that has been the pride of craftsmen of Maharashtra for hundreds of years, results in the iconic look of the Paithani Sarees. The weaving technique is used to create a kaleidoscopic pattern on the saree. This, combined with intricate work of threads of gold and silver, gives these sarees a unique look that is sure to turn heads in any setting.

FAQs

Why is the Paithani saree expensive?

While Paithani Sarees may be expensive when compared to other sarees, they are absolutely worth their cost.
