Scroll, and you are the shuttle. Every row you pass is one throw of thread across the loom.
The border first

The paar is woven first, in gold zari, because everything above it has to line up with it.

No paper pattern

A jamdani motif is not drawn anywhere. The weaver carries it in her head, one thread at a time, row after row.

Since 2013

UNESCO lists the traditional art of jamdani weaving as intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

Paid by the motif,
not by the metre.

A plain sari is quick. A dense jamdani can take months. We pay our weavers for the pattern they carry, so the hardest work is the best paid, and every label carries the weaver's name.
