In Single Ikat, either the warp or weft threads are resist-dyed before weaving, while in Double Ikat, both warp and weft threads are carefully resist-dyed and precisely aligned during weaving.
This alignment creates the intricate patterns characteristic of Double Ikat. In a well-executed Double Ikat, the design is visible on both sides of the fabric, with the woven pattern and colours continuing through the textile rather than appearing as a printed surface.
Creating one Double Ikat Patola takes skilled artisans anywhere from 6 to 12 months to complete. Every thread is tie-dyed by hand with mathematical precision using natural silk, requiring zero automation or printing machines.
Double Ikat is one of the most technically demanding forms of textile weaving. The yarns must be carefully measured, tied, dyed and aligned before and during weaving.
Depending on the complexity of the design, materials and weaving process, a saree can take many months to complete.
The price reflects:
Every saree represents considerable craftsmanship rather than simply the cost of the finished fabric.
Patola designs feature a rich vocabulary of traditional motifs and geometric patterns.
Depending on the collection, you may find motifs such as:
Each motif carries its own visual character and contributes to the storytelling tradition of Patola weaving.
Proper storage can significantly extend the life of your Patola.
Always dry-clean your Patola saree. Store it wrapped in a breathable muslin or cotton cloth in a dry place. Refold the saree every 3–4 months along different crease lines to preserve the silk integrity. Keeping perfumes, cosmetics and chemicals away from the silk.

Patan & Somasar Patola specialize in traditional handwoven Double Ikat and Single Ikat utilizing authentic Mulberry silk yarn and manual loom calculations.
Rajkot Patola predominantly uses Single Ikat.
Because techniques, materials and production methods can vary between individual weavers and collections, it is important to evaluate each saree based on its actual weaving technique, silk quality, craftsmanship and provenance rather than relying only on the place name.
All Somasar pieces from Aadesh Patola House are 100% handloom creations from master artisan families.
Real handwoven Double Ikat Patola sarees have no reverse side—the color intensity and design are identical on both sides.
A printed imitation, on the other hand, applies the design to the surface of an already woven fabric.
For valuable purchases, buying from a trusted specialist is one of the safest ways to reduce the risk of imitation.
Because Patola sarees often feature intricate motifs, a simpler blouse can create an elegant balance.
Popular styling choices include:
For a contemporary look, let the Patola remain the centre of attention and keep accessories minimal.
Many Single Ikat silk sarees can offer a comfortable and fluid drape, making them suitable for festive occasions, celebrations and long events.

Many of our sarees include a running or contrasting silk blouse piece, depending on the individual product.
