2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Bandhani, derived from the Sanskrit word “bandh” (to tie), dates back over 5,000 years and is deeply rooted in India’s textile heritage—especially in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Traditionally worn by brides and women during auspicious ceremonies, each dot in a Bandhani saree symbolizes a blessing.

At Saree Story, we collaborate with third-generation Bandhani artisans and block printers from Bhuj and Sanganer to preserve this intangible cultural legacy. The Lagdi Patta (meaning “climbing leaf” or “temple vine”) motif on the dupatta draws from Chettinad and Tamil Nadu temple carvings, blending South Indian aesthetics with Western Indian dyeing mastery—creating a truly pan-Indian heirloom piece.

4. Wash & Care Instructions

To preserve the vibrancy and integrity of your handcrafted saree:

• Wash: Hand wash only with mild shampoo or gentle detergent in cold water.
• Drying: Dry in shade—never expose directly to sunlight, as it may fade the natural dyes.
• Ironing: Use low to medium heat; place a cotton cloth between the iron and saree.
• Storage: Store folded in muslin or cotton cloth, away from moisture and moths.
• Note: Slight color bleed may occur in the first wash—this is natural for hand-dyed textiles.
