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.

Gulaal Indigo Bandhani Modal Satin One- Shoulder Dress
This list would be incomplete without a bandhani dress that does justice to our indo-western fit dreams. The one-shoulder gives it that modern feel while the cobalt colour and gigantic bandhani 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 large bandhani spots to give it that retro feel.
Calmna Lilac Lehriya Kurta
Who doesn't like a lilac moment? We are loving this leheriya kurta for our next light ethnic outing. The hues of purple look stunning together in the leheriya design and the gold kinari work and piping only makes it all come together to give you a beautiful kurta set. The sleeves with the carving at the cuffs also adds to the sophistication of this set.
Aapro Label Rust Red Fiona Draped Skirt Co-Ord
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 gold embellishments 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.
Pink Fort Satin Bandhani Printed Half Sleeves Purple 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!
