The Indian sari or how to reveal feminine beauty?

The SARI , a long piece of fabric, is a traditional garment worn by millions of women in South Asia, mainly in India, whose origins date back to around 100 BC.

It consists of 3 parts:

- the " Body " or body which constitutes the main part of the fabric,

- The " Palla " is the part located at the end. It is often different and more worked and will be positioned on the shoulder and the upper body

- The " Border " are the edges that embellish the contours of the fabric that we will find on the lower part of the outfit.

Colorful, draped, pleated, the SARI accompanies every movement and gesture with grace.

It can be made in many more or less luxurious materials, allowing every woman, whatever her budget or the occasion, to adorn herself in her finest attire.

Here are some symbols in terms of colors and patterns:

White is the color of priests because it is pure.
Green symbolizes fertility. Green saris are worn in some parts of India for weddings.
Red is the color of the nobility. It is believed to bring good luck and is therefore the color of choice for weddings.
Yellow or saffron symbolizes courage and the Hindu religion. In some parts of India, a tradition dictates that a mother wears a yellow sari seven days after the birth of her child.

At the level of the reasons:

Cashmere symbolizes fertility and abundance.
The elephant represents power, might, royalty and fertility.
The parrot is a sign of passion and seduction.
The fish also symbolizes fertility and abundance, but also supernatural powers.
The shell represents the divine.

Passionate about India, I have been visiting there regularly for over 20 years. During my travels, I personally select each sari for the emotion it gives me through its silky feel, its shimmering color, its traditional or original prints, and its history. Indeed, what I love most about this recycling approach is giving this fabric, which has accompanied these Indian women in their history and their lives, a second life here at home.

As you will have understood, the SARI, whether worn as traditional clothing in India or transformed into a Kimono, jacket or dress in France, will enhance, in all circumstances, the BEAUTY of each WOMAN .
