Handloom sarees and textiles in Bangladesh
Handloom weaving is slow work. A single saree can occupy a loom for days, which is why lead times on woven textiles are longer than on most other categories.
This guide explains how to read a textile listing and what to expect after you order.
Yarn defines the drape
Cotton, silk, and blends behave very differently.
Weave marks are normal
Small irregularities show the piece came off a hand loom.
Natural dyes shift
Colour can soften over washes; that is the nature of the dye.
Lead times are longer
Check the production days field before ordering for an event.

Materials, dimensions, and care instructions carry the information that matters most: fibre content, finished length and width, and the wash method the weaver recommends.
If you are buying for a specific date, add the production days to the delivery time rather than assuming same-week dispatch.
Washing and storing woven textiles
Follow the listed care instruction. Where none is given, hand wash cold and separately for the first few washes, dry in shade, and avoid wringing.
Store folded with breathing room. Long storage in plastic traps moisture and marks fabric.
Ordering a textile piece
Delivery is never bundled into the product price. After you place the order the seller quotes a delivery fee, you review subtotal plus fee as the total, and you accept it before the seller can confirm.
Orders are cash on delivery. Payment is recorded separately by an authorised operator after the cash is actually collected, so a delivered order is not automatically a paid order.
