A traditional Saree much in demand, the Uppada Saree lends grace and appeal to the wearer and dazzles those around. Uppada, is a small fishing village, close to Kakinada, the coastal city of Andhra Pradesh. It is also home to the famous Uppada handloom silk and cotton sarees, known for their intricate geometrical and floral designs and unique embroidery. The extremely popular Uppada ‘pattu sarees’ woven with pure silk, gold and silver thread or real zari, are a much-preferred bridal costume, especially in Andhra Pradesh and other South Indian States. Being light in weight, the decorative floral, peacock or geometrical motifs (repetitive design or pattern) in the ‘jamdhani’ style, with broad horizontal borders and a pallu to match, make the look of the saree so appealing, that it lends grace and elegance to the wearer. No wonder that the Uppada Pattu Saree is much sought after for lavish wedding functions, grand parties and social occasions. A variation to this is the Uppada Pure Silk Saree with a floral design, a golden border, and an attractive pallu, that finds it much sought after for functions and special invites. The more traditional variety of the Uppada Saree, with embroidery and Jari work, is treasured for more special occasions. Richly woven Uppada cotton sarees are in demand for their quality, traditional zari or trendy printed borders. Uppada cotton sarees, with jamdani patterns and embroidery work have their own appeal. Variations in the prints and borders with floral, geometric or other attractive themes find preference with college-goers, professors or even corporate ladies.
