What do you look for when buying a saree? The design, the fabric, the comfort, the price? There are so many factors and parameters that need to be considered while buying sarees, especially designer sarees for special occasions, events or for gifting. Traditional sarees are mostly silk or cotton as in natural fibres in their purest form. But, with time, these fabrics have become expensive and the hand weaving techniques have also faded away.

Now, we see a lot of hybrid fabrics which have been created by blending pure fabrics with cheaper fabrics to bring down the end product cost. Also, machine weaving is used to lower production cost. That is why we now have something called ‘eco-friendly fabrics.’

With the growing concern over environmental issues and the need for conserving Mother Nature, everything around us is guided by eco-friendly thought processes. Hence, eco-friendly sarees are the latest addition to our fashion industry. You will find the latest designer sarees made from these eco-friendly fabrics, which helps us to conserve Mother Nature in her best form.

These new age sarees are made from natural fiber yarns made from jute. Bamboo and other organic plants and are totally nature-friendly, ensuring zero waste in the production process.
