There are few things that make us as happy as traditional Indian crafts and techniques making it to the mainstream, and occupy space with the ripped jeans and the tie-and-dyes of the world. Which is why, watching people don leheriya and bandhani dresses and shirts with gay abandon, like this fusion is meant to be, we decided to list our favourite picks from the trend below that one must own for the festive season or even in general. Read on!

Leheriya Printed Saree From Silk Land


This Banarasi soft silk saree has leheriya digital print all over with a zari pallu. We especially love the colour combination because brown and white look absolutely regal paired together. This ones for the monochrome queens who want to keep their saree look subtle but want a little personality brought by the leheriya print. And the gold zari just adds enough glam without looking too busy with the leheriya.
Paulmi & Harsh Pink Ombre Leheriya Kaftan

This ombre leheriya kaftan with pink and yellow tones looks like a desi spin on a tequila sunrise (yes, the cocktail). The breezy georgette would look extremely pretty when the wind makes it flow so save this outfit for the next beach wedding you attend. The embroidered patch in the middle gives it that little something for that ethnic touch and because its from Paulmi & Harsh , you can trust that the quality will be stellar.

Earth & Soul Wabi Sabi Colorblock Bandhani Maxi Dress


This list would be incomplete without a bandhani dress that does justice to our indo-western fit dreams. The colour blocked style gives it that modern feel while the deep tones and bandhani effect lends that Indian touch to it. We like how instead of going for the basic tiny bandhani spots, the brand went for these cool looking varied bandhani spots to give it that retro feel.
Gillori Rang Laheriya Kurta & Pants


Who doesn't like a colorful moment? We are loving this leheriya kurta for our next light ethnic outing. The rainbow hues look stunning together in the leheriya design and the silver foil work neck and kinari piping only makes it all come together to give you a beautiful kurta set. It comes with a matching inner and pants and is giving us all the cassata ice cream feels.
Aapro Label Draped Skirt Set


This is one bandhani outfit that will be a great show-stopping outfit for those sundowner mehendi and haldi events you have to attend. The draped skirt and top with the bandhani print can be worn as is or with the cape it comes with if you wish to bump up the glam factor. The cape features these chunky sea shells that don't clash with the bandhani and also comes with a tie up that can be tied in the front as well as in the back, depending on what you prefer.
RAISHAA Pink Raspberry Bandhani Print Co-Ord


Jaypore Women Pink Georgette Bandhani Dupatta

If you wish to invest in more of an heirloom bandhani piece, drop all thoughts and get a stunning dupatta that can be styled with multiple outfits over the years. This one from Jaypore is made from georgette and features bandhani teamed with a wide floral border, all in subtle gold. Wear this with a plain white kurta set or even with light suit sets in contrasting colours to dress up your ethnic looks.
Batik Kart Leheriya Print Halter Neck Cotton Top

We love this cutesy halter top with leheriya for our next trip to Goa. Batik Kart is a homegrown brand owned by a sister duo who are all about bringing a modern vibe to handloom fabrics. Team this with a pair of denim shorts, espadrilles and a crochet bag, and there you have your boho-chic beach look ready!
Kelin Angrakha Top With Sharara


Sew Pastel Blue Scarf Printed Kurta


The minimal lover in us can't resist this fit. This kurta set from Sew has very subtle all-over bandhani effect and the red scarf neck combined with the print and tassles on the sleeves further amps up it's otherwise somber look. Made from cotton blend, it's perfect for summers and is great for semi-formal outings.
