A weave once considered fit for royals, Jamdani's legend still lives on. Considered one of the most advanced and complex weaving techniques in the world, it creates the softest of fabrics. The discontinuous weft technique used in creating the Jamdani dresses makes them not only soft but also lends them a timeless appeal. The weave is so fine that it passes through a ring seamlessly without any resistance. Such is the mastery of the artisans over their craft of weaving.
At Jaypore, our collection of Jamdani dresses is made from the finest of cotton to offer you maximum comfort with style. The dresses flawlessly combine age-old traditional weaving techniques with contemporary designs. Each dress is inlaid with intricate minimal motifs and patterns showcasing the rich craft heritage of India.
The Jamdani is made of two Persian words "Jam" and "Dani". "Jam" means flower, and "Dani" means vase. Thus, the name truly captures the nature of the fabric, where delicate floral motifs are inlaid into it through the weaving process. While the name draws inspiration from Persian, the craft was mainly practiced in the erstwhile undivided Bengal. The earliest reference to the fabric was by the 9th-century traveler Sulaiman. In his book, he mentions a fabric so fine that it could easily pass through a ring. As the fabric steadily grew in popularity, it infused various Islamic influences in its motifs and patterns. It was around the 17th century when the Mughals took a keen interest in it because of its sheer texture and soft and light feel. They wore it frequently and made it a royal affair.
Today, the weave is preferred by all and still holds immense cultural significance. The Jamdani weaving community takes great pride in its craft. It ensures that its invaluable knowledge is passed down to the next generation to carry forward the legacy.
At Jaypore, our Jamdani dress material consists of the finest premium cotton. Each dress is made in soft pastel hues with contemporary silhouettes to offer a playful look. Here's a look at our collection:
