Inspiration
The cry that is in my heart is also the cry of her heart;
The thread with which she binds me binds her too.
Her have I sought everywhere,
Her have I worshiped within me,
Hidden in that worship she has sought me too.
Crossing the wide ocean, she came to steal my heart.
She forgot to return, having lost her own.
The floral motifs are small flowers and leaves printed in pastel shades. The sari floats on a soft and easy color pallet of spring – embodies the lightness and simplicity of the season.

Description
Fabric:
The prints bloom in an altogether artistic appeal on the pure organic cotton (100% cotton), grown in India. Organic cotton is regular cotton that is grown organically without the use of any synthetic agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers or pesticides aside from the ones allowed by the certified organic labeling. The drape is light and comfortable. This cotton hugs you softly. It might benefit from starching after 4-5 wears but starching is not necessary at all.
Printing:
The motifs are screen printed on the fabric. Screen printing is a method in which ink is applied directly to the surface to be printed (substrate). The image to be printed is photographically transferred to a very fine fabric (the screen) such that the non-printing areas are blocked off and the fabric serves as a stencil. The ink is wiped across the screen to pass through the unblocked pores and reach the substrate. For each color to be printed a separate screen is prepared and the process is repeated. It is tedious and painstakingly done by hand.
