Unveil the magic of pure chiffon sarees

The saree, no matter how simple or elaborate, no matter which fabric it is made from, has a story to tell; there is a legacy behind every saree that tells the tale of a heritage that is rich and ancient. When you pick a list of the most popular sarees ever, there are going to be some favourites – silk and cotton would obviously make an appearance in this list, because they are such beloved fabrics, but chances are that the next name in the list would be chiffon! 

There is something about a pure chiffon saree; a fabric that was originally crafted in France, as a lighter option to the more opulent silk, throughout the 1900s, there was a steady rise in its popularity. Over time, chiffon was being created in several parts of the country and the fabric was being blended with other materials to create variations. Today, you can see combinations of nylon, polyester and even cotton, with chiffon, but what you get is a saree that is gorgeous and timeless! 

When you shop at Raj Ratan, you get the promise of quality and style – we take pride in the heritage that we imbibe in every outfit that we create and take forward the legacy that is Indian ethnic fashion!

How is the chiffon saree created

Although chiffon was born in France, it was brought to India by the princess of Cooch Behar and it fast became the symbol of royal sophistication and continues to be the same. 

Chiffon is manufactured by using alternating S and Z twists and that leads to a fabric that is not only flexible, but also inherently dense. Experienced weavers can align the fabric in such a way that cutting and stitching can be extremely precise. Today, chiffon is made with a blend of several other fabrics, including nylon, silk and even cotton.
