The History of Patola:

Patola has a long and fascinating history that dates back to the 12th century. It is believed that the art of patola weaving was brought to Gujarat by the Bunkar community, who were originally from South India. Patola sarees were originally woven for the royalty and aristocracy, and their intricate designs and patterns reflected the cultural and social status of the wearer.

Over time, the art of patola weaving spread to other parts of Gujarat, such as Patan, Rajkot, Surendranagar where it thrived and evolved into its present form. Today, Rajkot is known as the hub of patola weaving, and it is here that Sindhoi's skilled weavers create their beautiful sarees.

The Art of Patola Weaving:

Patola weaving is a complex and time-consuming process that requires a great deal of skill and patience. It involves the use of the double ikat technique, which means that both the warp and weft threads are tied and dyed before weaving.

Sindhoi's weavers use natural dyes to create the vibrant colors of their patola sarees. They also work with a wide range of intricate designs, such as geometrical shapes, floral motifs, and animal prints. Each design is carefully crafted by hand, and no two sarees are exactly alike.
