Patan is famous worldwide for Patola—luxury double-ikat weaving known for sharp geometric motifs, rich color harmony, and a “same on both sides” precision that feels almost impossible. A Patola visit is not only shopping—it’s a craft experience: understanding how threads are tied and dyed before weaving, why patterns take so long, and why Patola is often seen as a symbol of heritage elegance in Indian textiles.
