Bandhani, also known as Bandhej, is a traditional Indian tie-and-dye textile art. Skilled artisans create patterns by carefully tying small portions of fabric before dyeing. The tied areas resist the dye, creating the distinctive Bandhani dots and motifs.

Bandhani and Bandhej refer to the same traditional tie-and-dye craft. “Bandhani” is commonly used across India, while “Bandhej” is widely used in Gujarat.

Bandhani is practiced in different parts of India, but Gujarat has a particularly rich heritage of Bandhani craftsmanship. Sankalp Bandhej is a Gujarat-based heritage brand with roots in Jamnagar, Gujarat.

Our Bandhani collection includes traditionally handcrafted pieces made using the tie-and-dye technique. Since the process is done by hand, slight variations in patterns and colours are natural and add to the uniqueness of each piece.

Handcrafted Bandhani has individually tied patterns, fine detailing and natural variations that are different from printed imitations. Fabric quality, tying precision, dyeing and finishing are also important factors when evaluating Bandhani.

Bandhani prices depend on several factors, including fabric, design, number and fineness of knots, dyeing process, craftsmanship, zari or other detailing, and the time required to create the piece.

For weddings and special occasions, you can explore Gajji Silk, Gharchola, Banarasi Georgette, Meenakari, Kadva Zari and other premium Bandhani styles. The best choice depends on your preferred fabric, colour, design and budget.
