What started as a brand by Bappaditya Biswas along with his wife Rumi Biswas, ‘Bai Lou’ has become a genre in Bengal handloom textiles today. The six yard wonder is now commonly referred to as Bailu handloom sarees from Bengal.
Weavers of Bengal with mastery over Jamdani weave have adopted the new phenomenon of creating new textures by blending various fibre slike silk and cotton with yarns and creating Bailu sarees.
Earthy, handcrafted yet coeval, Bailu sarees from Bengal are an electric mix of handwoven silks and cottons in vibrant hues and textures.
Represented by audacious patterning, altered textures, splashy colours and bold experiments with Jamdani weaving, these sarees are a contemporary take on traditional jamdani weave.
Contemporary defines these sarees that are young and bright, and the motifs are tweaked a little by enlarging traditional motifs, floral or geometric, with the use of thicker thread on finer fabrics.
Affordable yet aspirational weave, bailu handloom sarees offer an unpredictable interplay between design, colour, feel, fabric and pricing.
They are a great alternative, even for someone who may not always be drawn to handloom saris, besides being extremely well-priced.
