Elegant Traditional Sarees of India

Indian designers are amongst the most innovative in the world. Thanks to them, saree styles are constantly evolving and one can find startling ethnic innovations like the half half saree, neon saree and lehenga saree online at trendy stores like Utsav Fashion. While these modern sarees have their own appeal, there are in fact just as many varieties to explore in the treasure trove of regional, traditional garments. Here are the most memorable and classic sarees from India:

Bandhani Sarees

Bandhani sarees from Rajasthan are unique amongst Indian garments. Despite being preferred festival sarees, they are usually made of cotton rather than silk or chiffon. The main reason for this is that cotton is a very soft material that easily absorbs color dyes, which is essential for displaying the ‘bandhani’ or tie and dye patterns. These comfortable and vibrant sarees come in a lot of bright colors, with many traditional patterns and designs.
