subject: Textile Market – Producing Exquisite Work of Quality [print this page] During the reign of the English, the city of Surat was India's biggest trading port. Also staking a claim as the first English settlement during that time, this city still has a hold over the diamond and textile market in India. Specifically known for its massive textile markets and sari retail centers it also holds interest for anyone with an affinity towards history pertaining to colonization. As its name precedes itself, the textile market in Surat has a reputation to protect. And that reputation is not in vain. Selling some of the very best in embroidered products from exquisite sari work to brocade and silk that is supplied by the textile industry that strives within the city, it's one of the most popular tourist attractions that draw incessant crowds any time of the year. Not only content with supplying these beautiful pieces of work to its own people, the market in Surat exports its products to the Middle East region as well. Because of the high demand and quality that is asked for by these countries, these industrialists have had to use innovative ideas to keep abreast of the competition. Due to the advance in technology and the demand of coming up with newer and better designs, the textile producers of Surat are now using embroidery machines that are computerized to weave in the traditional designs of the Indian sari. The sari itself is adorned with the Zaris - which in the past were hand woven individually into each sari by skilled seamstresses of the region. It should be mentioned though, that due to the use of machines the cost of production has been cut in half, and this allows the salesmen to sell the sari's and other embroidery work at a lesser price than before. But on the negative side, it means that there are lesser job opportunities for the workers who used to weave these exquisite designs because it's difficult for these Zari weavers to compete with computerized technology. Accommodation in Surat is easy to find. A Surat hotel that will provide the guest with quality standards and service with a style is The Gateway Hotel Athwalines Surat. Modern, refreshing and exuding warmth, this hotel brand takes note to leave its distinct mark of quality and consistency wherever it's situated.
