Purple Gajji Silk Bandhej x Embroidery

From the workshops of Kutch comes this Purple Gajji Silk Bandhej in Purple — curated by Palkhe by Palkhi Sarees, Mumbai's most trusted name in handcrafted Indian weaves since 1991. A piece that honours the living traditions of India's finest weavers.

Bandhej — the ancient Rajasthani art of tie-and-dye — is among India's oldest textile traditions. Each dot in the pattern is individually tied by hand before dyeing, a process so painstaking that a single saree can involve thousands of individual ties. The result is a fabric of extraordinary vibrancy — no two bandhej sarees are ever exactly alike.

Kutch in Gujarat is home to some of India's most vibrant folk crafts — from the mirror-work embroidery of its nomadic communities to the Ajrakh block-printing tradition that has become one of India's most celebrated textile exports.

The Checks Gharchola with Rai Bandhej running through this piece is a weave pattern of remarkable intricacy — a design that requires exceptional skill to execute and creates a visual effect that is entirely distinctive. Embroidered border.
