SOOTI | 2015

From time immemorial, India has

been the pioneer of weaving the

exquisite cotton fabrics. Even the

oldest civilizations of the world

were unfamiliar with the cotton

plant; in fact, they mistook it for a

plant that produced wool. The

delicate, shiny, complex weaving

and superior excellence of the fabric

produced from the Indian cotton left

the world wonderstruck. The virtues

of this beautiful fabric are often

referred to as, light as the air, strong

as the sun, flowing like the wind, soft

as dew, opaque as smoke, cool as the

moonlight and subtle as running water.

India has a long-standing culture and

history of spectacular cotton, it is to this

glorious tradition that Raw Mango

dedicates its saris.
