Bengal Hand Embroidery Kantha Stitch Silk Saree

Kadambini is more than a saree, it is a living testament to Bengal’s Kantha tradition. Each piece begins with 100 % pure mulberry silk, whose natural sheen and supple drape form the perfect canvas for master artisans. Over several days, they guide thousands of tiny running stitches known locally as nakshi kantha across the fabric, creating intricate motifs that echo the art’s humble origins, when women repurposed household cloth into embroidered heirlooms. The result is a feather‑light, breathable saree that gains softness with every wear yet remains strong enough to be cherished by future generations.

Every Kadambini saree is unique. Because the embroidery is done entirely by hand, no two designs are identical; subtle variations in pattern and thread colour make each piece unmistakably yours. The craft itself is ethical and sustainable: our cooperatives pay fair wages, use no mechanical processes, and honour the zero‑waste spirit that first sparked Kantha centuries ago. Whether paired with temple jewellery in Mumbai, an obi belt in Kyoto, or minimalist accessories in New York, Kadambini’s six yards of art blend effortlessly into any global wardrobe.

When you choose Kadambini from Bongoniketan, you bring home a slice of Bengal’s cultural heritage—authentic, artisanal, and ready to become the next prized heirloom in your family.
