Uppada, a virgin village where modernization has not yet found place in the state of Andhra Pradesh but its fine silk creation with unique designs on saree have starting catching popularity. Uppada has been a hub for traditional handloom sarees with a unique style of weave. Typical to the weaves from this place the Uppada handloom silks and cottons have an evolved traditional style involving geometrical patterns and floral designs that has come to be known as the Uppada brand.

The extremely popular Uppada ‘pattu sarees’ woven with pure silk, gold and silver thread or real zari, are a much-preferred bridal costume now. Being light in weight, the decorative floral, peacock or geometrical motifs in the ‘jamdhani’ pattern, 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 it is much sought after for lavish wedding functions, as much as for more formal 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 sought after for parties and functions. The more traditional variety of the Uppada saree, with embroidery and zari work, is treasured for more special occasions.

Uppada cotton sarees, with jamdhani patterns and embroidery work have their own appeal. Variations in the prints and borders with floral, geometric or other attractive themes find preference as college or corporate wear.

Zari booties on the ‘pallu’ and patti borders, give it a grander touch as fashion wear or for special occasions.

The devotion and care in churning out beautiful Uppada sarees with nice prints, colourful borders, attractive pallus and lovely thread work adornments is visible and very much evident in the extraordinary fresh-look creations which enthrall and mesmerize the market of fabrics.

No wonder that there are eager loyalists and ever-seeking buyers whose interest in the Uppada sarees have encouraged this traditional style to flourish despite the odds. Richly woven Uppada sarees are in demand for their quality, traditional zari and trendy printed borders.
