ROOTED IN BENGAL, ADORNED IN ART – Applique Cotton Sarees

ROOTED IN BENGAL, ADORNED IN ART – Applique Cotton Sarees

In Bengal, artistry is not confined to canvases — it lives on walls, in songs, and on sarees. Among its most heartfelt expressions is the delicate tradition of appliqué work on cotton, giving rise to sarees that are as comfortable as they are captivating.

At PARBANI, we honour this blend of function and finesse with our exclusive Applique Cotton Saree Collection — where every motif is hand-placed, and every drape is rooted in storytelling.


What Are Appliqué Cotton Sarees?

Appliqué (or ‘katha’ work, as it’s fondly known in Bengal’s rural belts) is the art of:

  • Hand-stitching cut-out fabric shapes onto a cotton base

  • Creating motifs like flowers, birds, faces, temples, or tribal art

  • Often enhanced with embroidery, patchwork, or mirrors

  • Resulting in a saree that is light to wear, yet rich in design

Made from breathable cotton, these sarees are perfect for India’s climate — and speak softly, but carry deep craft.


Why Appliqué Sarees Are Loved in Bengal

The Bengali woman has always valued sarees with meaning, texture, and grace. Applique cottons are:

  • Perfect for poetry readings, art exhibitions, or morning puja

  • Lightweight enough for all-day elegance in the summer heat

  • A conscious pick for those who love handmade, slow fashion

  • Thoughtful gifts that share craft, culture, and care

Wearing one is like wearing folk art with modern elegance.
