Bandhani is one of India's oldest textile traditions — the art of resist-dyeing fabric by tying thousands of tiny knots before dipping in dye, creating the characteristic dotted patterns in rich, jewel-toned colours. Originating in Rajasthan and Gujarat, bandhani fabric carries centuries of craft knowledge. In a co-ord set format, it's one of the most striking pieces in contemporary ethnic wear.
What Makes Bandhani Special
Every bandhani piece is made by hand — the knots are tied by artisans, each one creating a resist point in the dye. A single saree can have thousands of knots. The result is a pattern that no machine can replicate: the slight irregularity of human-tied knots creates depth and texture that printed "bandhani" fabric completely lacks. Genuine bandhani is always hand-tied.
Bandhani Co-Ord Sets for 2026
The co-ord set format works beautifully with bandhani because it shows the full pattern across top and bottom — the colour story and dot pattern read as a complete composition. Popular colour combinations: red and yellow, blue and white, green and gold, pink and orange. See HOH co-ord sets collection for current bandhani availability.
What is bandhani fabric?
Bandhani is a traditional Indian tie-dye technique originating in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Fabric is resist-dyed by tying thousands of tiny knots before dyeing, creating distinctive dotted patterns in rich colours. Genuine bandhani is hand-tied by artisans — machine-printed imitations exist but lack the depth and texture of the real thing. Bandhani co-ord sets and kurtas are popular festive and occasion wear.
