Take the Silk Route

Ask any Indian women what her saree means to her, her reply will be “it means the world”. And no woman in history has ever said no to shopping Silk sarees. The number of sarees one owns is never enough!

Sarees are popular because of their uniqueness, beauty and the reflection of the craftsman’s love for weaving! From having just traditional motifs, silks sarees have evolved to being a canvas, where the artist tries to implement new ideas and innovative techniques.

There will be a huge development in the designs if you compare your grandmother’s saree to your mother’s and your mother’s to yours! The transformation is massive but the interesting fact is that it is highly welcomed by women of all age!
New age women like their wardrobe to have a mix of everything and not just what’s trending. At Pothys, we have everything from ancient motifs like yazhi, manga, chakram to trending designs like ikat, chevron prints, and temple borders to a fusion of both!

Here’s a list of our silk saree collections.

Wedding collections

Samudrika - Sankya Lakshanam

Our flagship saree collection - Samudrika - is the perfect choice for the bride-to-be. You can take our word for it, because it is not just any silk saree but a craftsman’s finest piece of work, crafted to sheer perfection with heart and soul!

                                                                                             

There can be a range of options from which the bride can choose from her muhurtham saree, but sophisticated and esteemed attire in the bridal trousseau is Samudrika.

So why is our Samudrika popular with brides? Because this is the only saree that carries the virtues of the perfect Muhurtha Pattu! The virtues being classic, exclusive, unique, including traditional artwork, in a pure Kancheepuram Pattu Saree. Sounds compelling, doesn’t it?

Picture your wedding, where you’re dressed in our Samudrika collection looking regal and resplendent, stealing the entire crowd’s attention while your groom's sight fixated on you! What more can a bride ask for?

We all invest a lot in recording the important details of the big day, through invitations, photographs, videos etc.; the joy in revisiting the whole experience is beyond the scope of explanation. Pothys has come up with an innovative concept in making the big day extra special!! Presenting Sankhya Lakshanam - the rare art of weaving names of the bride and groom in the Samudrika wedding saree.

 

The concept has been welcomed by many couples and has set a new trend in Bridal wear!

This idea is not just for new, young couples but is also a good gift for couples who are celebrating their 20th, 40th 60th wedding anniversaries!! The concept has evolved from weaving names to important dates like- mother's or the baby’s name along with the seemantham date.

From weaving names and dates, we have taken this thought to whole new heights where an entire photograph can be woven in the silk saree!!!

                                           

Kamal Haasan was taken aback when he heard the significance and exquisiteness of Samudrika in an exclusive interview with our MD Mr Ramesh, even cracking a joke, “At this speed, Pothys can weave an entire movie in a single saree!”

Safe & Fashionable Diwali Clothing

Diwali – is the homecoming of Lord Rama, and is celebrated in India with Diyas, sweets, clothes and gifts. This Diwali go traditional with Cotton sarees, designer sarees, silk sarees, Embellished Salwar Suits, and Lehengas. With very many options to pick from it is important to make sure you wear safe and fashionable clothes during Diwali.

                       

Tips to make sure your clothing is safe during this Diwali:

1. Watch out for your dupatta: It is advisable not to wear the dupatta when you go for the fireworks celebration. Since the dupatta hangs freely on your shoulders and dangerously close to ground level where all the fireworks are.

2. Avoid Patiala salwars: A lot of us buy kurtas and suits for Diwali. Instead of wearing Patiala, go for leggings or jeans because it is safer around fireworks as they are more fitted

3. Saree Draping: Saree is an epitome of elegance for Indian women and what better occasion to wear them than on Diwali? The only word of caution here would be to make sure your saree is tied neatly, and the pallu does not hang loose. Tying a silk saree is easier than a designer saree but the best thing to do in any case is to pleat the saree neatly and stuff one end of the pallu around your waist.

4. Saree Length: The length of the saree should be taken into concern while draping. Tie it a little higher than you normally do so that the lower hem of your saree does not end up catching fire. You can also wear wedges or raised platforms to avoid this scenario.

5. Fire Resistant Material: Who said that there are no gorgeous sarees in fire resistant material? Instead of chiffon and gorgette go for jute, silk cotton or cotton sarees that do not catch fire as quickly.

This Diwali we hope you have a beautiful time with your family and friends! It is important to be safe too. To help you with that we have a wide range of collections in different price ranges. To find the perfect clothing for this Diwali, you can visit our store or log in to www.pothys.com . You can also gift your loved ones a gift card from Pothys for this Diwali!

Revamp your wardrobe this New Year!

There’s something about the the New Year or a change in season that makes everyone want a dramatic change in their wardrobe and looks. But you don’t have to make any big changes to reinvent your style. Smaller changes and a little knowledge about the upcoming trends can add up to a big impact.

Here are few upcoming trends in colour, fabric and prints to watch out for this year. They’re quick and inexpensive.

Colour:
Understated vivid hues, pastels shades and nature-inspired neutral shades are going to rule this season. From classic blue, browns, tangerine to aquamarine the color trends will have lots of variety.
Tinted Pastels: Color palette is going to be dominated by tinted pastels.
Orange is going to be the new black in the upcoming season. Get ready to witness shades of tangerine and coral, to crimson.
White: The versatile colour which is always in style is for those who love to play safe with colours.

Fabric:

Silks : Besides soft fabrics, this traditional fabric is going to rule the fabric charts in Spring/Summer 2015. We can witness many designers opting for silks in their designer collection this year.
Sheer: From chiffon saris to net lehengas the sheer fabric which once ruled the fashion world is back. Multiple layers of mixing and matching sheer fabric like net and lace is the new trend.

Embroidery & Embellishments:
Mirror Work, Sequins, Appliqué work, resham embroidery and Chintz inspired prints are trending in 2015. The floral embroideries and the kutch work embroidery can be seen adorning the saree borders this season.

Digital Prints:
The geometric patterns, tribal prints and illusionary prints are back with a bang. We can see the prints that are high on drama with a mix of prints and colors.
Floral prints never go out of fashion! Blooming prints, fine and delicate motifs, floral appliqué work and flower inspired designs never fail to impress the Indian fashion conscious women.

Jewelry & Accessories
Accessories this upcoming year is all about minimalism, saying that one can’t ignore the bling of jewelry. While last year nose rings ruled the jewelry trend, this year make way for stunning waist belts, ear cuffs and quirky headgears that elevate the style factor.
