Bengal Handwoven Cotton Seersucker-Inspired Fabric, 45" Wide, 92 GSM
$34.65Excl. VAT
Description
A light, airy Bengal handwoven cotton featuring a seersucker-inspired weave that creates subtle puckering and breathability without the use of elastane or chemical finishes. At 92 GSM, this is an ultra-lightweight, summer-ready cloth with an artisanal character—crisp in appearance yet soft in wear. The gently textured surface lifts the fabric away from the skin, enhancing airflow while giving the textile a beautifully considered, craft-forward identity.
2) How It’s Made
This fabric is handwoven in Bengal on traditional looms, using fine cotton yarns arranged to mimic the tensioned effects of classic seersucker. Instead of chemical crinkle treatments, the textured stripes are achieved structurally through differential warp tension and weave variation, resulting in a naturally puckered, permanent surface. The finish is minimal and garment-appropriate, preserving the fabric’s lightness and tactile authenticity.
