✨ The Dhakai Jamdani Magic

The Dhakai Jamdani saree, known for its origin in Dhaka (now Bangladesh), is considered the gold standard of Jamdani weaving. These sarees are crafted using a unique supplementary weft technique, where motifs are intricately hand-inserted into the fabric, giving the illusion of floating designs. Today, expert weavers in Bengal continue this legacy, bringing these historical patterns to life in vibrant hues and modern styles.

• Dry Clean Preferred: Especially for silk Jamdanis. Inform your cleaner it’s a handwoven piece.
• If Washing at Home: Use cold water, a pH-neutral detergent, and handle very gently. Avoid soaking or rubbing.
• Drying: Always dry in the shade. Never expose to direct sunlight. Avoid wringing. Use padded hangers or flat drying.
• Ironing: Use low heat and iron on the reverse side. Place a cotton cloth on top for extra protection.
• Storage: Fold in a muslin cloth. Avoid hanging for long periods. Refold occasionally and store in a cool, dark place with natural repellents like neem or lavender.

By following these tips, you not only protect the beauty of your saree but also preserve a legacy woven by skilled artisans.
