India, Karomi Crafts & Textiles, Indigo & Black Surya Sleeveless Jamdani Overlay

Product name: Indigo & Black Surya Sleeveless Jamdani Overlay

Type of product: Garment (Overlay)

Description (story of the item): 

The overlay is made with Surya handwoven Jamdani fabric, yarn-dyed in natural indigo and black. Surya- as in “the Sun”- the point at which creation begins, is a collection that showcases the unimposing circle in myriad ways, transcending the ordinary and redefining the classic. The use of hand-spun khadi in the weft, gives the fabric its subtle, grainy texture and an amazingly soft hand-feel. The overlay is characterised by intricate detailing along the hemlines by way of hand stitched Kantha embroidery. Faggoting is used to join the fabric panels at the back to create a seamless fall.

 At Karomi, the characteristic feature of our garments is our ‘hand-woven, design-driven Jamdani' fabric. Jamdani weave has been an integral part of Bengali tradition. Intricate motifs are woven directly on the loom using the ‘extra weft’ weaving style. This historic craft has been passed down from generations through intense practice and discreet instructions followed by the Jamdani weavers of Bengal (India). 

A Karomi Jamdani is different from the usual. It is characterised by randomness in design patterns and whimsical play of forms with large or no repeats, thus guaranteeing an 'authentic' Jamdani that is both artistic and future forward.
