At Parvai, we create each sari as a powerful testament to the rich tapestry of human creativity, collaboration, progress, and excellence. These exquisite garments not only celebrate tradition but also narrate compelling stories. Here are some inspiring facts about the sari that highlight its remarkable worth and significance:
- Handcrafted in Venketgiri and tied in Bhuj, this sari embodies two storied craft legacies of India, steeped in rich history. The earliest evidence of Bandhani dates back to the Indus Valley civilisation, indicating that dyeing practices existed as far back as 4000 B.C.
- Made with gold zari and pure cotton, it offers unmatched comfort and sophistication.
- The intricate tie-dye Bandhini creation process showcases extraordinary artistry, demanding over 350 person-hours of skilled labour.
- The artisan team is compensated with fair, traceable wages reflecting their craft's value.
- This sari symbolises durability, sustainability, and biodegradability, standing the test of time.
- Easy to maintain, it will retain its charm for years—something we wholeheartedly believe in.
- We urge connoisseurs to appreciate the intricate beauty and precision with which the tiny dots converge to form the intended design. This craftsmanship exemplifies the skill and artistry of the maker. The zari squares are meticulously filled with motifs, enhancing the overall richness and exceptional quality of the sari.

These predominantly floral designs transition from the traditional gharchola, designed for specific cultural and religious significance, allowing for versatile draping.

Have you ever wondered who made your clothes? If not, now is the time to start. Often, handcrafted products come with human costs, including slave labour and inhumane working conditions. At Parvai, we are committed to ensuring that our processes do not support such practices. We pay artisans fair wages and take pride knowing that every sari represents a labour of love. Our Kanchipuram silks are woven at our looms, carefully overseen by Parvai’s team from design to completion.
Weaver: Subramanium (Venketrigi)
Bandhini Team: 15 skilled members led by Janab Jabbar Khatri & Janab Abdulla Khatri
Tie and dye is one of India's oldest and most widely accepted textile printing methods. Each design and motif has its unique significance. The art has been employed by dyers globally, but it flourishes most significantly in India, particularly in the northwestern state of Rajasthan. The history of Bandhani, or tie and dye, stretches back to prehistoric times, with countless dyers creating beautiful patterns by tying fabric and immersing it in dye. Indian Bandhani, a traditional form of tie-dye, originated about 5,000 years ago and became widespread on cotton approximately 3,000 years ago. Known as `Bandhej`, the name derives from the word `Bandhan`, meaning tying up. This ancient art form is mainly found in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat, with notable centres in Jaipur, Udaipur, Bikaner, Ajmer, and Jamnagar, producing odhnis, sarees, and turbans. Bandhani is closely linked with various communities' social and religious customs and has rich historical roots, primarily initiated by the Muslim Khatri Community of Kutch, with traditions passed down through generations.
Note: As this product is handwoven, slight irregularities may exist. These unique imperfections and variations are intrinsic to the handmade process and should not be considered defects. Product colours may vary due to lighting or monitor settings. We offer free shipping, and upon purchase, the product will be dispatched within 7 to 10 business days. Returns are accepted within two days of delivery. Cancellation requests will be entertained according to our policy.
