ADVITA Hemlata : Pure Kosa Silk Saree – Premium Parsi embroidered
ADVITA Hemlata is where two of India's most exquisite craft traditions meet in a single, breathtaking saree. Woven from Pure Kosa Silk — Chhattisgarh's golden wild silk — and adorned with the intricate needlework of the Parsi embroidery tradition, Hemlata is a saree that tells two stories at once.
The Foundation: Pure Kosa Silk
Kosa silk is handwoven from the cocoons of wild silkworms that feed in the forests of Chhattisgarh. The resulting fabric has a naturally warm lustre, a slightly textured surface, and an exceptional breathability that makes it comfortable for extended wear. Kosa silk is one of India's most sustainable textiles — gathered from nature, woven by hand, and built to last generations.
The Embroidery: The Parsi Needle Art
Parsi embroidery is one of India's most refined and distinctive needlework traditions, brought to India by the Zoroastrian Parsi community and developed over centuries into a uniquely Indian art form. It is characterised by its use of vibrant colours, naturalistic motifs — flowers, birds, foliage, and vines — and a technique called gara embroidery, where fine silk threads are worked in dense, flowing patterns that seem to grow organically across the fabric.
Each Parsi-embroidered motif is worked by hand with extraordinary precision. The embroiderers follow traditional pattern books passed down through families, yet each piece carries the individual touch of the artisan's hand — making every Hemlata truly one of a kind.
