The Michelia nilagirica, endemic to the Nilgiris, is block-printed across the length of this saree in soft gold and cream. Toda diamond motifs are scattered between, with Toda embroidery running along both edges, worked in red and navy by our Toda women artisans.
Crafted from custom-woven fine linen, the fabric is light, airy and fluid, draping beautifully against the body. Sold without a blouse.
Each saree a long labour of hand, made in limited numbers.
This piece is part of Nilgiri Flora · Three Flowers — our first exploration of block print and Toda embroidery meeting in cloth, two crafts brought together for the first time by these mountains.
