Kota Silk Chinnar Patti Applique Embroidery Saree (As Seen on Nimrat Kaur)

Kota Silk — with its characteristic khat (square check) open-mesh weave from Kaithoon, Rajasthan — is already one of India's most admired handwoven fabrics. When that ground is worked with chinnar patti applique embroidery — strips of contrasting fabric or ribbon applied by hand in a geometric pattern — the result is a saree that layers two distinct craft traditions into a single, extraordinarily tactile piece. Nimrat Kaur, one of Indian cinema's most consistent champions of Indian craft, chose this saree because it earns its complexity.

Chinnar patti (literally: embroidery ribbon strips) is applied by hand across the body and border of this saree in a placement that complements the geometric khat of the Kota weave beneath. The Kota Silk ground keeps the saree light and wearable despite the embroidery, making it an ideal choice for occasions that call for craft without weight.
