Uppada

Uppada fabric, originating from the Uppada region in Andhra Pradesh, India, is renowned for its traditional handloom silk sarees. Characterized by its lightweight and soft texture, Uppada silk fabric is created using the age-old jamdani weaving technique, which is a time-consuming and intricate process. This method involves weaving silk threads into beautiful patterns and motifs that are often inspired by nature and local folklore. The unique feature of Uppada fabric is its ability to fold down to the size of a matchbox without damaging the fabric, highlighting its incredible lightness and suppleness.
