GAJI SILK

Meaning & Origin: Gaji is a luxurious, satin-weave silk known for its rich, glossy texture. It is historically woven and utilized in Gujarat.

The Process: Unlike standard plain weaves, Gaji is woven with a satin structure, meaning the silk warp threads float over multiple weft threads. This creates a dense, incredibly smooth, and lustrous surface that absorbs natural dyes beautifully.

Time Investment: The hand-weaving process of the silk takes several weeks, but the fabric is usually a canvas for other crafts like Bandhani or Ajrakh, adding months to its completion.

The Artisanal Specialty: Gaji is revered for its structural drape and weight. Its opulent sheen creates a perfect backdrop for luxury couture, offering a tactile richness that synthetic silks cannot achieve.
