FAQs
-
An authentic Sambalpuri handloom kurti (bandha ikat) shows the same motifs on both sides of the fabric, since the yarns are tie-dyed before weaving. Look for slight irregularities in patterns (a sign of hand weaving),crisp selvedge edges. Machine-made imitations usually have blurry motifs and one-sided prints.
-
Sambalpuri Ikat, locally called Bandha, is a centuries-old handloom tradition from Western Odisha. The uniqueness lies in the tie-dyeing of yarns before weaving, which produces reversible motifs such as shankha (conch), chakra (wheel), phula (flowers), and pasapalli (checks). Each kurti is a work of art, often taking weeks to complete.
-
Each Sambalpuri kurti is completely handwoven, with the design dyed into the yarn before weaving. The process is time-intensive(5–15 days, depending on complexity) and requires skilled craftsmanship. Factors like material (cotton vs silk), dye quality, motif complexity, and weaving time influence the price. Buying directly supports weavers and sustains a heritage craft.
-
Cotton kurtis: Wash separately in cold water with mild detergent; avoid soaking for long.
Silk kurtis: Dry clean is recommended; if washing at home, use gentle hand wash in cold water.
General: Always dry in shade, avoid wringing, and store in a cool, dry place. For silks, wrap in muslin or cotton cloth and refold periodically.
-
As with all pure handwoven cotton fabrics, minor shrinkage of up to 5% is normal, but if proper wash care instructions are followed, shrinkage can be controlled upto 2%.

True handloom magic!
I’ve bought handloom before, but nothing felt this premium. This kurti was not only stunning but also incredibly well-stitched.
