Craft & Story

**Kota Silk** is a lightweight, handwoven fabric from Kota, Rajasthan, crafted with a blend of silk and cotton threads. Distinguished by its signature square-checkered *khats* pattern, it combines the softness and shine of silk with the strength of cotton. Ideal for sarees and dupattas, Kota Silk exudes elegance and comfort. **Bandhej** (or Bandhani) is a traditional tie-dye technique from Rajasthan and Gujarat, where fabric is tied into tiny knots before dyeing to create intricate dot patterns. Known for its vibrant colors and symbolic designs, Bandhej is widely used in sarees, dupattas, and turbans, representing cultural heritage and festive elegance.
