About the Product: This stole is made of pure cotton khadi that has been entirely made of hand-spun yarn and then hand-woven by the master Jamdani weavers from the Nadia district of Bengal.
Meticulously handwoven fabric with a trendy placements of Jamdani butis with tones of indigo and fishing off with a sleek solid selvedge contributing to its suaveness.
About the Craft: The traditional art of Jamdani is believed to be a fusion of the ancient cloth making techniques of Bengal which is more than 2,000 years old. Jamdani is the most expensive product of handloom since it requires the most lengthy and dedicated work to create each exquisite piece.
The beauty of Jamdani is referred to as ‘flowing water’ or ‘sensual quality of moonlight’ for its transparent fabric where the motifs look like they are floating on the fabric. What’s remarkable in this Jamdani weaving technique is that the pattern is not sketched or outlined on the fabric. Each motif speaks of elegance and sophistication. The weaver uses fine needle like spindles to conjure magic with extra weft work that can rival the most intricate embroidery.
The art of weaving Jamdani has been declared by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
