Chanderi Silk Cotton Saree – Bagru Handblock Printed (Wine Purple)

Description

The story of Chanderi dates back to the 11th century, nestled in the historic town of Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh. Known for its spiritual significance and temple architecture, the town eventually became home to one of India’s finest weaving traditions. The Chanderi weave, originally reserved for royalty, is celebrated for its lightweight texture and sheer elegance. Over centuries, this textile art embraced new influences, and one of its most captivating collaborations was with the ancient tradition of handblock printing—a technique with roots as deep as the Indus Valley Civilization.

Handblock printing involves wooden blocks intricately carved by skilled artisans, pressed carefully onto fabric using natural dyes. This marriage of silk-cotton Chanderi with age-old handblock motifs transforms each saree into a wearable canvas of heritage. This particular saree in wine purple is a tribute to those traditions, blending vintage charm with modern elegance.
