About the Craft: Weaving the Soul of Dhatrigram

This particular saree is a testament to the skill and dedication of the weavers of Dhatrigram, a village deeply rooted in the heart of West Bengal's handloom tradition. The creation of this piece involves a simple yet precise formation, using a fine cotton yarn count. The essence of the craft lies in the subtle artistry of incorporating extra warp designs using multi-colored yarns, primarily seen along the borders. Furthermore, the body of the saree features meticulously placed figured motifs achieved through the extra weft technique, creating a beautiful pattern against a transparent plain ground. The process is entirely done by hand, from preparing the yarn to the final weaving, a slow, rhythmic work that imbues the fabric with the soul of the artisan. The use of pure, CGM cotton yarn ensures the finished product is lightweight and supremely comfortable for the tropical climate.

Speciality: The Comfort of Tradition

The true speciality of this Bengal handloom cotton saree lies in its exceptional wearability. The choice of fine cotton yarn makes the fabric incredibly soft and light, ensuring utmost comfort throughout the day, even in humid weather. It is classified as casual wear, making it an ideal choice for everyday elegance, office environments or relaxed social gatherings. The intricate extra warp and weft designs, including the subtle presence of Batik work in the weaver's hand, are not loud but lend a quiet sophistication to the simple drape, allowing the wearer to carry a piece of heritage with effortless grace.

How to Care?

To maintain the quality and longevity of this handloom cotton saree, please follow these care instructions. It is recommended to hand-wash only. Use a mild detergent and cool water. After washing, gently squeeze out the excess water and dry it in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight as it can cause the natural dyes to fade over time. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
