The Kota Doria fabric is a lightweight sheer textured fabric that is woven in Kota and its neighboring Kaithoon belt of Rajasthan. This is traditionally made in cotton or cotton silk blend. The weave gives a square check pattern, which is known as khat. The weave gives it an elegant look, the perfect drape, and breathability. This is why Kota Doriya is usually marketed as daily wear, travel wear and office wear as customers can wear these elegant pieces every day without feeling heavy. 

 

The genuine Kota Doria sarees have the Geographical Indication or the GI tag that proves that these pieces are handwoven using the traditional pit loom techniques. For a customer who wants to buy genuine handlooms, one should check the GI tag. The GI tag proves that the sarees were made in the specific region where they originated. 

Handloom Kota Doria vs Pure Kota Doria: What to Check Before Buying

It is common to use the terms handloom kota doria and pure kota doria saree interchangeably. However both the terms are actually different and a buyer should know the difference before they buy a kota doria saree.

The handloom term refers to the weaving method. A traditional handloom kota doria is always woven on a traditional pit loom and not a power loom.

On the other hand the term pure refers to the yarn composition. This means that the saree is traditionally made of either cotton or a cotton-silk blend and not synthetic. Usually genuine Kota Doria sarees are handloom kota doria made of cotton or a cotton-silk blend so it is a pure one.

One should remember that only the name Kota Doria is not enough . One should see whether the Kota Doria saree is a handloom one or a power loom one, a cotton or cotton-silk blend or a synthetic one. If the saree has a GI tag then it would be a pure handloom kota doria saree. That proves its origin. A genuine kota doria saree feels papery and it is slightly stiff when it is new. However it softens after a few washes. While checking Kota Doria saree, these points should be kept in mind.
