Heirloom Series: Kanchi Mustard Silk Tablemats (6)

Another saree donation, another memory made immortal! 

The traditional mustard with temple border hand woven silk saree that was used to make these set of 8 tablemats is literally from an era gone by. Neither the weavers who made the saree nor the woman for who the saree was made are around anymore. But the gorgeous saree became immortal when our designer laid her eyes on it.  To strengthen the fabric, a strong backing was added and stitches carefully put to make the tablemats an exotic addition to any festive setting! 

We were able to make only 8 tablemats from the saree.
