The beauty of handcrafted fabric is that no two pieces look exactly alike, and minute flaws are very common.

The beauty of an original handcrafted saree lies in its imperfections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePls note that there may be a mild colour variation in the saree due to colour reproduction in camera and screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the Gulbahar collection special?\u003c\/strong\u003e Gulbahar sarees pair the light, softly lustrous Chanderi silk-cotton weave with detailed hand embroidery.
