Bomkai Sarees are traditional sarees from Orissa. Weaving Bomkai sarees includes techniques of both yarn tie and dye or bandha and extra weft patterning or jaala which is like a dobby mechanism.
While designing these sarees I felt the necessity of working primarily on colors. In most of the designs you would find more earthy, pastel, subdued, urban colors. Such colors are not the traditional colors of textiles in Odisha. They are usually bright and very lively. But I've tried to change the pallette keeping in mind the changing tastes of women in India. Also these colors could help create more demand for Odisha handlooms in bigger towns and cities.
Below are some graphic interpretations of the designs that I have made keeping in mind the trends and demands of customers.
The plain color at the top is the body color and the part worked upon with motifs is the Pallu.
