Counts range from 40(coarse) to 120 (super fine), with the normal count of 80 – 80 being used for soft woven fabric. Prices begin at Rs 60 to Rs 70 a metre, and could go beyond Rs.1000, based on the intricacies involved in its making

Derived from its original name Totadri, Mangalagiri is from Mangala (good fortune) and Giri (hill). There are three temples of Narayan Swamy in Mangalagiri and popular traditional belief has it that those climbing the hill to offer prayers would definitely buy a saree before leaving Mangalagiri.

A traditional occupation involving whole families in the making, it is knowledge gained from experience and experiment, shared and passed down from generation to generation.  Mangalagiri weavers are devoted to their craft.  They also have a clear idea about market trends. Organised into co-operatives, they follow the market to incorporate current demands in their weaves.

The Geographical Indication (GI) Status accorded to the Mangalagiri Handlooms this year has ushered in much sought relief from weaver woes.

High price of raw materials, coupled with spurious goods and nearby local industries affixing the  Mangalagiri Handlooms label to their goods without the traditional quality in their fabrics, was bad enough. Market response was also poor with the genuine fabrics seeming costlier. This led to poor production and exodus of skilled workers from the traditional handloom industry.   

The GI certification is granted if the product possesses distinctive qualities, only when the produce is found to be made according to traditional methods, or enjoys a certain reputation due to its geographical origin. Mangalagiri handlooms and fabrics have a registered logo for the product. With the grant of GI, it would further help boost the market for these sarees.

Based on the current situation being maintained for the next three to four years at least, it is estimated that the current turnover could at least be doubled in the next couple of years.

Georgette Sarees clad comfortably, unnatisilks Georgette Sarees keep you cool in hot weather

The Georgette Saree is a very light and springy fabric, with a crimpy look and a slightly dull lustre. This Crepe was once made from natural silk; today it is mostly made from synthetic filament yarn.

As with other crepes, Georgette Saris are plain weave fabrics. The crimpy or wavy look is achieved by alternating S and Z twist of the yarns of the weft (breadth wise run of yarn thread) while passing it through the warp(length wise lay of yarn thread).

Though the Georgette Saree is made from Synthetic fibres, which is widely available and comparatively cheap as compared to silk, the silk variety is also available.

Silk crape is hard spinning of silk yarn in its gummy state or natural condition. Initially when the threads from two feeds are twisted in reverse on the weft, the fabric is smooth and even. But when the gum separates out on putting the woven fabric in boiling water, the twisted threads from the weft, become soft. The weft, then losing its twist, gives the fabric the waved structure or crimpy look.

The Georgette Saree is essentially a soft, smooth, and airy fabric, ideal for hot and humid weather conditions.

The Georgette Saree of synthetic filament yarn possesses advantages of low moisture absorption, good stain resistance to chemicals, and makes it easy to wash and maintain. However it burns more easily than natural fibres, and hence is prone to heat damage.

Georgette Sarees are available in a wide range of colours and hues on account of their acceptability of most dyes. With attractive designs and accompaniments in vivid colour combinations, the Georgette Saree assumes the level of a refreshing style statement.    

Take for example, the designer fashion Georgette saree, decorated with kundans, pearls, beads and sequins. An extremely gorgeous piece, it is most suitable for Indian weddings and preferred as bridal attire.

Or the Indian Pure Georgette Sari with Bandhani , Block and Bagruprints which looks most graceful.

The North Indian Fancy Georgette Saree embellished with Zari Zardozi, Ari, Gota or Chikan embroidery patterns is an extremely eye-catching variation.

The Half and Half Georgette Sari having Chunri prints and embroidered border is stylish wear suitable for college parties, corporate office, cultural programmes and festivals.

The Georgette Saree having embroidery patch work along with a printed border is trending fashion, well-liked and most appropriate for corporate conferences, traditional occasions and temple visits.
