Imitation half priced brocade

Imitation half priced brocade 

Brocade is nothing but the technique of embossing existing fabric with designs using gold silver or colorful silk/satin threads. Traditionally the embossing was done with real gold/silver coated threads over 100% pure silk fabric. Thus the fabric was unique, expensive and exquisite. This was the golden era where Indian kings and queens of different states usual everyday costume was made of these expensive exotic fabrics and jewelry used to be made of kundans and jadau and real pearls. 

Then times changed and similar imitation fabrics were manufactured for normal average population who couldn't afford wearing gold silver coated costumes every day. Thus imitation brocade was invented. Imitation brocade is nothing but embossing of not so expensive thread on a not so expensive but attractive piece of cloth. 

Imitation brocade is equally fancy and way more cheaper than the traditional brocade on 100% pure silk. 

In my non metro city's wholesale market this brocade is available for $ 7.5 per meter (100 cms)
