Jamdani, Cotton of Bengali Origin

Jamdani is the big part of our rich heritage.It is a fabric of fine cotton of Bengali origin,with coloured stripes and patterns.It has been spoken of as the most artistic textile of the Bangladeshi weaver.

 
Traditionally woven around Dhaka and created on the loom brocade,it is also fabulously rich in motif.A Bengali woman's wardrobe is simply incomplete without this elegant piece.

Though mostly used for saris and it is also used for Kameez,and scarves.Jamdani is believed to be a fusion of the ancient cloth making techniques of Bengal(perhaps 2,000 years old).

Because of its complicated designs,it always considered as the most expensive productions of Dhaka looms. There are many branded shops which are producing jamdani and the first name that comes on mind is AARONG.
