Linen: Lightweight Sarees For New-Age Women
When it comes to Bengali culture, saree is an integral part of the tradition. It has been the attire of Bengali women since the ancient times. There is a dozen of saree types like taant, korial, silk, baluchari among many. Most of them are hand-woven, heavy to carry and expensive. This made the way for a rise in demand for a fabric that is soft, lightweight and printable. This has made linen saree widely popular in the subcontinent. The fabric is sourced from the linseed plant. Apart from sarees, linen is widely used in the fashion industry due to its durability and absorbent nature.
