Hi
We are Pritha (Bibi), a doctor and Vikram (Babu), a corporate guy. We are from Incredible India, having spent most of our lives in the beautiful city of Kolkata, and have now made London our home.
We first met when we were seven years old (I) and have been inseparable since. Perhaps it is the desire for looking good and good living that have kept us bonded over the years. Whilst both of us share a deep love for fashion, Pritha is also an incurable makeup addict and Vikram is crazy about fitness. Pritha’s passion for aesthetics extend beyond fashion though, as she keeps on decorating and redecorating every physical space she can get her hands on! She is also the more organised half of us.
Pritha also suffers from wanderlust, which is convenient as Vikram works in the travel industry and enjoys driving.
In this channel we share our experiences and talk about things we hope you will find useful. We cover a range of topics here so whether you are someone who needs a helpful tutorial on wearing the Indian dhoti (men’s lower garment), or you are looking for Eurostar deals, this channel is for you.
Thank you for visiting and we hope we can convince you to subscribe 😊

Pritha, I must admit you made a wonderful video on Jamdani - rather I should say this is the best video so far I found on UA-cam on Jamdani Fake Vs Real - indeed so helpful dear.
Thank you so much 😊
Very very informative video.thanks mam for ur great work. Jamdani is a love for me.
You are welcome. Glad to know that you found it useful 🙂
I took a jamdani saree yesterday...and after ur video recognized that we bought a fake saree😔...thanks for video... atleast onwardwe can recognize the original saree
I'm so sorry about that. It's a shame that the market now is filled with fake handlooms and unscrupulous merchants. Hope it wasn't too expensive
Wow. Useful details u gave dear, thk u ,May Krishna bless u.(dxb)
You're welcome. Glad to be of help 🙏
Beautifully explained! Please tell what is the starting price of original Dhakai Jamdani.? So that we can not be looted.
Thank you! Original dhakai jamdani will be upwards of Rs 10,000. Unfortunately, even paying good money does not guarantee authenticity so I'll advice to always check for yourself. Also, if you're after dhakai jamdani in particular, buy them from Bangladesh. I recommend Aarong.
Please share the source of each sarees with name of shops and any suggestive shops from where we can buy
Hi, these are from Aarong in Bangladesh. They have a few centres there. I can give you contact of West Bengal Jamdani if you want
Hi miss
Wonderful video. I love jamdani sarees. I am from south India living in U.S. unfortunately, we don't find these sarees in south. I checked Aaron's website but did not find any I liked. Also, are all these cotton or do they have some silk??
My friends and I want to get a few jamdani. Can you recommend any weavers in Bengal or Bangladesh? Or, can you recommend a reputable shop in Calcutta??
Hello. Thank you for watching this. Bangladesh jamdanis are traditionally cotton though nowadays cotton-silk combination are available more as they last longer. Aarong website may have limited collection and you can try emailing/texting them. They have the best dhakai jamdanis. For jamdanis from West Bengal you can contact Biren Basak +919609103106. Please note, WB jamdani look slightly different from BD ones. Both are equally good though
Thank you so much for responding! I will contact them. If I am not successful, as aggressive as it maybe on my part, I will have to send you money and beg you to purchase a couple for me and mail them here. I love your collection. I have been admiring their understated elegance for the longest time. Thank you my dear!!
I liked ur video very very much 🙏
Thank you very much 😊
Hi Pritha, Thank you so much for this educational video. Could you please recommend a place (shop in Kolkata or online) to buy an authentic dhakai jamdani saree?
Hi Riya. Most shops in Kolkata sell jamdani sarees manufactured in Bengal. Those are not technically Dhakai Jamdani as they do not come from G.I. tagged area. If you want authentic Dhakai, look out for exhibitions organised by Bangladesh deputy High commissioner in Kolkata. They usually organise a Bangladesh fair in winter. There will be dhakai stalls in international trade fair though this year probably nothing will happen. If you are not in a hurry I'll recommend one of these two.
Or you can purchase from Bangladesh's most famous garment shop Aarong. Aarong.com, I think they deliver to India. Many of my dhakais are in fact from Aarong though bought from Bangladesh.
If you want a jamdani saree without fussing about the place of origin you can try Vastra Kuttimm in Ekdalia. Whatever you choose to do please make sure you're purchasing authentic handloom by either examining the saree yourself or asking online seller to show you the reverse side of the saree. Unfortunately many shopkeepers have a habit of lying about their products. Hope this helps 🙂
lekin ye bahuthi mehanga hai
Pritha di could you please let me know where I can get authentic pashmina shawls in Kolkata…the ones with intricate embroideries?
Kashmir emporium in Dakshinapan 😊
Here is the contract of my shawl-wala from Kashmir [Name] Salim
[Mobile] 00 91 97971 93334
I am also a passionate lover of handloom sarees however most of the people cannot afford handloom sarees who end up purchasing cheam powerloom ones. Who can afford handlooms should go for it.
That's true
Hi Pritha, I really loved the video inspired me to buy a jamdani saree. The black saree in the video is awesome. Loved it. Can you share the source for the dhakai Jamdani.
Hi Padma. Most of my Jamdanis including the black one were bought in Bangladesh from this shop www.aarong.com/women/saree/jamdani
Minimum and maximum weight of jamdani saree,,?
There isn't any such definition I'm afraid. It depends on the quality of base material and density of jamdani work
Maam could you please tell me how to identify an authentic uppada jamdhani.
Sure I will, but can't do it now. My Uppada Jamdani is in India and I live in India. I'll make the video when i visit India next month 🙂
@@BabuBibi ok thank you so much
Where I wash Bangladesh jamdani in kolkata

Sorry, I don't sell. My dhakais are all bought from the Bangladeshi store Aarong. You'll find them online
Where can we get these sarees
These are from Bangladesh. You can try their store called Aarong
That's original dhaka Sarri
