About Handspun Saree:

Handspun sarees are a traditional fabric that originated in Bengal and are made from unbleached or white cotton yarn, which is spun by hand. These sarees are closely woven, making them suitable for hot and dry climates. Handspun sarees were historically popular in Europe in the 17th century, and efforts are underway to revive the fine muslin weaving tradition that was once famous worldwide. The West Bengal government has initiated Project Muslin, which has identified over 600 families of skilled spinners and weavers to continue this legacy in various districts like Murshidabad, Nadia, Birbhum, and others.

Colour, Texture & Wash Care Information:

• General: Colour and texture may slightly vary from the photograph due to differences in photographic lighting or screen settings.

• Embroidery: Slight irregularities are inherent to handwoven, hand-embroidered, or hand-crafted products. These small variations add unique charm to the saree, a quality missing in machine-made items.

• Handwoven: Missing yarn, slobs, and uneven yarn contrasts are common features of handwoven products. These natural characteristics are part of the hand-weaving process and contribute to the individuality and beauty of each piece.

• Wash Care: Dry clean only. Cold wash is recommended, especially with natural dyes, as colours may bleed.
