The very mention of the word
Dhakai sarees reminds us of one of the most unique and elegant forms of sarees
available. With a unique historical heritage of being patronized by the
Mughals, the Jamdani Dhakai Sarees are still creating a stir in the world of fashion.
Today, it is one of the most cherished forms of luxury sarees commanding
immense respect due to its motifs, colours and textures. However, care must be
taken to maintain this saree in your wardrobe. If you do not take proper care
of it, the saree will undergo irreparable wear and tear. Knowing few Dhakai
Saree maintenance tips would just be helpful in preserving a costly piece. Before
you opt to buy one please choose a proper Dhakai Saree outlet which would give
you the right value for money.
In a city like Kolkata, there is
no dearth of good Dhakai Sarees outlets offering rare pieces of this
traditional art. However, an online store would be better off since you would
get more variety. Vastrakuttimm has emerged as a leading online saree store in
Eastern India. Operating out of Kolkata, it has already established a huge
clientele spread across, Kolkata, India and the world. Women take special interest
in the magnificent range of Dhakai sarees offered by Vastrakuttimm owing to the
uniqueness of each piece.
As a brand, Vastrakuttimm has
also been largely successful in preserving a heritage art form through a
majestic form of hand woven saree. The production of Dhakai sarees suffered a
lot during the Colonial rule due to their biased import policies. They
completely stopped the production of handwoven sarees and patronized the industrially
manufactured textiles. Post Independence, there was a revival of this beautiful
art and a gradual globalization of this art originating from Bangladesh.
Online saree shopping is a new
trend witnessed in the e-commerce industry with a number of leading clothing houses
offering sarees under their brand name. Online sarees have also helped in
globalizing sarees from India and Bangladesh to the West, South East Asia and
Australasia.
