The fabric of Royalty: Handwoven Chanderi Fabric for your Wardrobe
Known for its rich weaving heritage, Chanderi fabric by Swades Creations is inspired by the town of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh. The heritage of this exquisite weaving dates back to the 13th century Jhansi, where this intricate craft was introduced and flourished under the Mughal patronage. Swades Creations’ Chanderi fabric offers different fabrics and sarees that continue the legacy of being a symbol of luxury and tradition.
The unique blend of pure silk and fine cotton makes Chanderi fabric a must-have in your style. The handwoven technique results in a lightweight, breathable fabric with a natural sheen. The intricate process requires a grid sheet weaving technique that makes setting up the loom and making the fabric a labour intensive craftsmanship. This ensures a fabric that is not only luxurious but versatile, making it perfect for every season. Swades Creations’ Chanderi pieces are a testament to the dedication and artistry of skilled weavers.
