Brocades

The Boisterous Indian Brocade
Brocade weaving is a traditional Indian art that has persisted through time, with various types of brocades produced in significant quantities. The tradition is particularly well preserved in Varanasi, Surat, and Ahmedabad. Gujarat brocades are notable for their rich gold or silver metallic background, while Varanasi silk saris are popular as bridal wear. Brocade weavers and designers balance preserving traditional designs with embracing new trends to ensure that these exquisite fabrics remain relevant and cherished in contemporary times.
