Chanderi in M.P., India is traditionally the home of the famed
Chanderi sarees, known for the stylistic Bootis and extraordinary threadwork on
fine weaves in silk and cotton. With plain to moderately adorned patterns or
motifs and small but attractive coloured borders and exquisite pallus with some
adornment, Chanderi sarees have been popular for the extremely fine texture and
sheer quality. The entry of the Chanderi Saree in its new avatar of fusion
Sicos (blends in silk and fine cotton) has again sparked fresh interest in a
fabric that since traditional times has never ceased to amaze.
Enhancing the beauty further
is the ‘Booti’, ‘Butti’ or motif, which is an interlaced, hand-woven, shape,
consisting of gold, silver or copper coated threads. The Asharfi Butti, or Gold
Coin shaped Booti has been a popular choice since earlier times, though the
pure gold or silver used in its making has given way to tested Zari, which is
woven from synthetic yarn by needles of different sizes. The bigger version of
the ‘Butti’ is popularly known as ‘Butta’.
A major difference in the making methods is that the ‘Bootis’ of
hand-woven Chanderi saris, retain their shape and appearance throughout the
life of the fabric, with no thread coming out from the ‘Butti’ structure.
Buttis once only hand-woven on the fabric, have been replaced by gold-printed
‘Butti’prints on the silk fabric body.
The fusion range of Chanderi
Sicos offered by Unnati Silks includes a whole range of Kalamkaris. Kalamkari,
is craftsmanship through the use of a pen, an ethnic art involving hand-painting
or block printing on Sarees. Subjects of Gods, temple hangings, epic scenes and

flowers, leaves, birds as some of the popular subjects adorn the Chanderi Sico
saree. Marked features of this fusion style are simplicity, good use of natural
organic colours . Employed on the Chanderi Sico Saree, the Kalamkari addition
through hand block prints and stylish pen work makes it look grand, that the
Saree becomes apt for weddings, bridal attire, corporate wear, as also suitable
