Designer Bandhani Saree

The most important Manufacturing centers of Designer bandhani sarees are located mainly in West India, in cities like Jamnagar, Bhuj and Ahmedabad. These types of sarees are created by combining different vibrant colors, contrasting two colors with borders, endpieces with elegant designs.

In this technique, Pinch-size portions of fabrics are tied together using a special thread used only for bandhani saris. After an entire piece of fabric is tied together in various pinches, it is dyed colorfully. These pinches are then opened with leaving white blocks wherever the fabric was pinched and tied together. A thing to keep in mind while undoing the knots or pinches is that they should be opened in a criss-cross manner in order to prevent the fabric from tearing. The fabrics are dyed differently using natural and artificial colors.
