Bagh Printed Muslin Red Saree-Diamond

$71 Incl of GST

We are reimagining Bagh prints with our own take on it with a series of prints inspired by both nature and culture. These sarees are produced using heritage techniques but have a contemporary design appeal. These were handspun and handwoven in West Bengal, of fine 150 count cotton yarns. Printed in Bagh, Madhya Pradesh using natural dyes by Bilal Mohmd. Khatri. We love the idea of saree as one continuous unstitched piece of textile, making it in thin borders, small pallu to take the  concept of free flowing design up a notch! This particular pattern almost looks like tiled mosaic work seen in ancient Persian art.

Bagh Print: Bagh Print is a unique traditional Indian printing originating in village Bagh, Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. The river Baghini which runs through the village provides the much needed water which is the foundation of this craft. It is believed that the copper and lime rich water brings out the rich colors of natural pigments and also helps with color fastness.  The process is characterized by naturally sourced pigments and dyes. Bagh printed textiles are super soft and it is believed that beating and washing in the river water and use of natural pigments makes them so.The most common colors are red and black over a white background. To make the dyes, pigments like ferrous sulfate and alum are boiled in water and mixed with tamarind seed powder to make a paste which acts as black and red dyes respectively.
