For that rich look
|
From nine yards `korvai' silk-cotton to exquisitely woven textured saris in bright colours, one can choose from a wide variety at Prashanti, the sari boutique.

RICH COTTON-SILK handloom saris with half-fine zari look -alike borders are giving a run for their money these days to good old Kanchipuram silks. The same richly woven texture, the same jewel like colours, traditional borders like the temple, rudraksha, Chettinad etc., and at one fourth the prices!
Perfect for Chennai's hot, hotter and hottest seasons, the beautiful cotton-silk saris are woven by master weavers under the direction, design inputs and expertise of Prashanti's Malathi Muralidharan, who has literally given Chennai a comfortable and equally beautiful answer to the traditional Kanchipuram silk sari.
The Prashanti collection offers a rich, varied collection of cotton-silks from nine yards `korvai' silk-cotton to exquisitely woven textured saris in traditional colours like red, blue, bottle green, haldi yellow, orange, onion pink, black and many more. Traditional checks, contrast borders, shot colours, `buttis' and other traditional motifs are striking features of the `Prashanti' cotton- silk collection.
The bridal saris particularly the tissue cotton-silks are rich in colour and zari, and come at practically a fourth of the all silk saris.
Malathi Muralidharan's shed looms also weave polycot saris and salwar kurta yardage as well as attractive "ahimsa" silk saris.
Check out the collection at Prashanti, New No. 16, 6th cross street, CIT Colony, Mylapore, Ph: 4991850/ 4997636.
