A predominantly captivating traditional textile of Bangladesh and India, woven brilliantly by hands on a loom made of ropes and wood. From north or to the south, east to the west, India is the only country to retain rich handlooms and traditions that truly defines its cultural capital, magnificently woven with organic deftness. We have a very pure and rich heritage when spoken about handicrafts and handlooms. Traditionally, we Indians have two significant occupations- Farming and weaving, which is being carried forward by our traditional weavers including their entire family. Being an innate Indian tradition drapes in the root of Indian History, Handloom Sarees have outlived from the Mauryan Empire to the modern makeshift ages, where the drape can literally be paired with anything that you opt to wear.

Well known poets of the Mughal durbar gracefully happened to liken our muslins to baft hawa (woven air), abe rawan (running water) and shabnam (morning dew). Demand to publicize the use of Handloom sarees has been in play since pre-independence when the British goods were boycotted. In the world full of Handlooms, each and every state in India began practicing the handloom culture with the precious beauty of heritage. Several regions have their own traditions of handloom sarees, which make them, stand out unique from one another, magnificently. Being one of the largest India's Cottage Industries, Handloom sarees are meticulously made from Silk or Cotton Threads.
