Paithani weaving characterizes the sophisticated use of silk and gold (zari). The original paithani saree used to feature a cotton base in the body of the fabric, whereas the borders and weft designs featured the silk fabric.

In Paithani Sarees, weavers generally use three types of silk threads. These are Charkha, Ciddle-Gatta and China Silk. Charkha threads are lusterless and are widely used, whereas Ciddle-Gatta is fine quality silk with shiny and smooth threads. The China Silk is the most expensive type of thread that is used in the Paithani Silk Sarees. We have all the varieties and you can find the finest quality Paithani Silk Sarees with us at unbelievable prices.
