Printed Cotton Silk

In the 80's, printed silk used to be very much in fashion, with a long border at the bottom and a small border on top, and with pretty prints on the borders both sides and sometimes on the body of the saree. Now, cotton silk experts have incorporated this idea into silk cotton. These sarees look just like block printed ones, but they are actually run through thari or the loom. The designs may be mangoes, flowers, crosses, plusses or even just lines. In various mixture of combinations they really do look stunning on a beautiful color-combined saree.

Two examples of these sarees have just arrived @ RU Creations. One is a bold black body with turquoise border and turquoise patterns on it. The other one is a pleasing red base with turquoise border and turquoise print. Come on in to check out these two unique sarees.

Stone work on Cotton silk

The earlier blogs had information about various designs and patterns in silk cotton sarees. The latest trend that has caught up in the cotton silk world is the stone work.

First off, it should be noted that a slightly superior quality of cotton silk saree is chosen (so it will have the strength to withstand the sewing and the stone weight etc.,) Also, sarees with contrast colors are picked and stones are embedded all over the border, pallu and on the body . They also add very traditional patterns or kolams with colorful threads and stones all through the saree, over the border and sometimes on the pallu also.

Come on in and check out this collection that just arrived at RU Creations in 3 great combinations.

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.
