Behind this piece
Bandhani, one of India's most ancient resist-dyeing traditions, originates in the Kutch and Saurashtra regions of Gujarat, where artisans have tied, bound, and dyed cloth for over five thousand years. The word itself derives from the Sanskrit "bandha," meaning to tie. Here, that luminous light-green net ground carries the characteristic ringed patterns of this craft, layered further with the patchwork sensibility beloved in Rajasthani textile culture. Embroidered sequins catch the light at each intersection, adding a contemporary glimmer to a technique that has dressed brides and celebrants across generations of the subcontinent.
How to style
For a festive evening, pair this saree with a deep emerald or gold raw-silk blouse, antique Kundan jewellery, and strappy gold heels. At a mehendi or sangeet, try a contrast blouse in coral or saffron with oxidised silver jhumkas and kolhapuri flats for a more relaxed, folkloric look. For a city wedding as a guest, a structured bandeau blouse in ivory keeps the focus on the net's texture and the bandhani pattern, balanced with pearl drops and pointed-toe block heels in nude or champagne.
Fabric & care
Net is a delicate, open-weave fabric that rewards careful handling. Dry-clean this saree whenever possible, as the combination of embroidered sequins, patchwork appliqué, and net base makes machine or hand-washing risky. If spot-cleaning is necessary, use cool water and a mild fabric cleanser, dabbing gently rather than rubbing. Never wring or twist the fabric. Dry flat, away from direct sunlight, which can fade the light-green ground. Store loosely folded in a soft cotton muslin cloth, separate from heavier garments that might crush the sequin embroidery over time.
