Ahimsa Silk continued

Earlier, we posted a little something about Ahimsa silks, the environmentally friendly silk. For people who do not believe in killing the silk-worms to use the thread to weave sarees, or those who just do not want to wear silk for any other reasons including veganism, Ahimsa could be the perfect replacement.

Basically, unlike traditional silk, Ahimsa silk's threads are taken our after the cocoon leaves the nest. Therefore, there is absolutely no harm done to the silk worm. Regardless, beautiful colors and prints are available in this type of silk, and evidence is shown in the photos above. The material has a very silkish feel, yet is completely weightless on the body once worn.

Both of these sarees are available at RU Creations.

The Exquisite silk of All!!

The Kanjeevaram, or the Kanchi silk, could easily be considered as the most exotic silk. Such a fabulous material comes out of South India, or more specifically, Kancheepuram, near Chennai, TamilNadu.  Every South Indian woman, or almost every Indian woman's wardrobe will have at least a couple of this great silk. Every South Indian bride's wedding trousseu will definitely comprise of more than one Kanjeevaram silk saree.

We at RU Creations are  proud to bring that kind of rich tradition, from the fareast deep south Kanjeevaram to the deep south Houston, Texas.

Kanchi pattu or silk sarees usually come in bold colors with real gold or silver border on one side of the saree or on either sides with a flashy pallu. These days trendyness has caught up with this most traditional attire also. Boutiques now come up with very off-beat patterns. They are either half and half or sarees with no borders or sarees with very contemporary pallu. The 6yds in a saree has many designs many patterns on it.

One such saree available at RU Creations is displayed here in the picture, a very non traditional saree in a very traditional combination of colors ,  A pretty majenta with a bottle green combination.

P.S Always don't forget to accessorize the lovely saree with a beautiful 1gm gold jewlery.

Picture Perfect

When we take a look at the old antique Tanjore paintings,  women are almost always highlighted. The magnificent lady featured is invariably either carrying a plate of fruits, daydreaming, or it is almost always a painting of Yasoda. The women always wore sarees, of course, and more interestingly, their blouses were always a total contrast and did not match the body of either the saree or the body. 

Fast-forward to this day and era; the same trend is still very much in style. Follow this trend and you yourself will certainly feel like one of the beautiful and elegant ladies from the ancient Tanjore paintings. 

Here's a saree that fits the example perfectly!

Deja Vu

In the 1980's, temple-border, or Gopuram border sarees, that were etched in Kanchi silk were all the rage. Basically, this was a solid color as the body, and the border had a contrast color with temple designs threaded in gold.  The pallu was simple, and of course, in those days, they did not come with attached blouses. 

This exact style has made a huge comeback in Chennai over the last year, with one difference being that it is slightly more elegant.  The saree of today has a solid color as the body as well, with a contrast border, but also has a gorgeous tissue pallu. It also comes with a blouse attached with mini temple borders on the sleeves. 

We have seen many news anchors on Indian TV, models and socialites wearing these patterns over the past few months.

RU Creations currently carries a beautiful and popular combination of this type- photo attached!
