Dhaniakhali sarees originated from Dhaniakhali in West Bengal's Hooghly district. These weaves are a celebrated GI tagged handloom tradition. Handwoven in cotton by skilled Bengal weavers, these sarees have a distinctive weave, carefully crafted Ikkat designs, beautiful motifs, characteristic quarter - inch borders. Each saree carries a specialised twisted weave on the pallu called Khajurichoti resembling a braided plait and which is the mark of authenticity for Dhaniakhali weaves. The yarn used is organically treated to provide comfort in humid Indian weather.

Handloom fabric is woven on a loom manually by a skilled weaver. Each handloom piece is a work of art which uniquely displays craftsmanship. The beauty of this quintessential fabric is that no two hand-loomed fabrics can be similar-looking. And pls note that getting minute flaws in fabric is very common. The imperfections in this perfect fabric can be anything from an uneven yarn to a faded print. The beauty of an original handloom saree lies in its imperfections.

Pls note that there may be a mild colour variation in the saree due to colour reproduction in camera and screen.
