The Story: Sambalupuri is a term used for the IKATs made in western Orissa. The whole of Western Orissa was undivided and called Sambalpur in earlier times and IKAT being a very well known textile of the region got its name from the region itself.
The sambalpuri fabrics are mostly made in cotton and the uniqueness of the fabric lies in the smooth curves of their motifs owing to the high skill of the Bhulia weavers of the region. The variety of motifs are very diverse ranging from animal motifs like elephant, deer, ducks and lion to floral motifs, the Konark wheel, and the kumbha or temple motif. Manisha Chawda of Neeli Titlee started with an inspiration that she is excited about, followed by a few sketches and layouts which she shares with weavers. Once they are ready with the tie-dye and warping of the loom, I visit them and sit with them to shape up the new samples. Sitting on the loom and taking hands on decisions is the part I love the most. The team doesn't change the concept but plays around within the constraints of what is in hand to come up with interesting ideas and variations. Once these original samples are ready, the weavers are on their own replicating the samples. She likes this teamwork where the designer and the craftsman work hand in hand to create something so beautiful.
