Weaving Heritage
Single Ikat Patola sarees are woven by resist-dyeing the warp threads prior to loom assembly, with plain or coordinating weft threads interwoven to create sharp, vivid geometric motifs and borders.
Originating from the renowned weaving centers of Rajkot and Surendranagar, single ikat sarees celebrate traditional motifs such as Narikunj, Panbhat, Popat, and Elephant designs with breathtaking brilliance.
Renowned for their luxurious drape, vibrant color palettes, and accessible heirloom elegance, single ikat sarees are the cherished choice for weddings, auspicious ceremonies, and festive celebrations.
At Majestic Patola, each single ikat Patola is woven with pure mulberry silk and authentic Gujarat handloom artistry direct from master artisan clusters.
A Patola saree is a double ikat woven silk saree traditionally crafted in Patan, Gujarat, India. The defining characteristic is the resist-dyeing of both warp and weft threads before weaving, producing perfectly symmetrical, vibrant geometric patterns on both sides of the fabric. Patan Patola holds a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, making it one of India's most protected textile heritage crafts. A single saree can take anywhere from 6 months to 4 years to weave.
Patan Patola uses the double ikat technique — where both the warp and weft threads are resist-dyed before weaving — making it reversible and extremely rare. Only a handful of Salvi weaver families in Patan still practise this 900-year-old craft. Rajkot Patola uses the single ikat technique, where only the warp threads are dyed. This makes Rajkot Patola more accessible in price while retaining the vivid geometric patterns and pure silk quality characteristic of Patola weaving.
Authentic Patan Patola sarees (double ikat) range from ₹50,000 to over ₹5,00,000 depending on the complexity of the pattern, silk quality, and weaving duration. Rajkot Patola (single ikat) sarees are priced between ₹8,000 and ₹80,000. At Majestic Patola, our handcrafted pieces are sourced directly from master weavers in Patan and Rajkot, ensuring fair artisan compensation and 100% pure silk quality.
An authentic Patan Patola saree is perfectly reversible — the pattern appears identical on both sides of the fabric. The colours are woven into the threads, not printed. The weave reflects authentic Gujarat handloom heritage. The saree will feel slightly heavy due to pure mulberry silk. At Majestic Patola, every piece is directly sourced from verified master weavers, crafted from 100% pure mulberry silk.
