Seersucker is a thin, all-cotton fabric, commonly striped or checkered, used to make clothing for spring and summer wear. The word came into English from Hindustani (Urdu and Hindi), which originates from the Persian words "shir o shekar," meaning "milk and sugar", probably from the resemblance of its smooth and rough stripes to the smooth surface of milk and bumpy texture of sugar.[1] Seersucker is woven in such a way that some threads bunch together, giving the fabric a wrinkled appearance in places. This feature causes the fabric to be mostly held away from the skin when worn, facilitating improved heat dissipation and air circulation. It also means that pressing is not necessary.

What is Mangalgiri Cotton?

Andhra Pradesh is well known for its cotton, which is woven across the state.
If you are looking for variety in pure cotton weaves, look no further than Mangalgiri - the small weaving district in Andhra Pradesh that made it to the big league. While each weaving district has its own speciality, none of the others can match the versatility and range that is offered by the Mangalgiri weavers.


Approximately 12 km from Vijayawada, towards Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh, is this small town, which has become synonymous with cool, comfortable, hand-woven cotton fabrics in a palette of striking colours, motifs and patterns. Mangalgiri , literally translated as ‘Holy Mountain’, Mangalgiri has indeed become a pilgrimage of sorts for people in search of cotton woven the traditional way.
