Off-White Jamdani-Style Saree with Red Temple Border

An off-white saree with a red temple border and a red pallu, woven on a powerloom in West Bengal. The body is plain with a soft sheen. The pallu carries jamdani-style motifs in red: small woven squares that climb in zigzag chains from one end to the other. It is 6 metres long, including a running blouse.

We label every saree as handloom or powerloom, so you always know what you are buying. This one is powerloom. The jamdani motifs are woven into the cloth by the loom, not inlaid by hand, and that is why we call it jamdani-style.

Fabric & Weave

The fabric is sold in the trade as soft Dhakai jamdani. It drapes lightly and softly. The style comes from Dhaka, which is why we call it Dhakai-style. The saree itself was woven in West Bengal, India.

How to Style It

Off-white and red is the classic pairing for Durga Puja, Deepavali and temple visits. With a plain body, the blouse does the work. A red blouse keeps it traditional. A red ikat or Ajrakh block-print blouse gives the plain body some contrast. Add gold or temple jewellery for festive days, or small studs for the office.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, or dry clean. No bleach or harsh chemicals. Wash it separately the first time, as the red is strong. Do not wring or twist. Line dry in the shade. Iron on a warm setting, never hot. Store it folded in a white cotton cloth in a dry place.
