2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship

The Dola Natural Tie & Dye Saree draws inspiration from the centuries-old Bandhani tradition of Gujarat and Rajasthan, where artisans have perfected the art of resist-dyeing through intricate knotting. “Dola” symbolizes gentle movement—like the sway of fabric in the wind—and reflects the fluid grace of this handcrafted piece.

At Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi, we revive this heritage by collaborating directly with master dyers who use only natural dyes derived from turmeric, indigo, pomegranate, and myrobalan. Each saree is a tribute to slow fashion, cultural preservation, and mindful beauty.
