WEAVING LOVE IN THREADS

Neelgar, the Ahmedabad-based textile label founded by designer Kamaldeep Kaur, is reimagining Indian weddings with handcrafted Bandhani, silk, and artisanal textiles

- 

Weddings are not just about ceremonies. They are about memory, meaning, and detail. For many couples, the choice of attire and textiles becomes the single most powerful way to weave personal expression into their celebrations. At a time when mass-produced trousseaux and machine-printed fabrics dominate the market, Neelgar offers a rare alternative: handwoven, hand-dyed textiles that honour tradition while speaking a modern design language.

THE NEELGAR STORY

Founded in 2005 in Ahmedabad, Neelgar was Kamaldeep Kaur's response to an industry where authentic Bandhani was being overshadowed by repetitive motifs and faster, mechanised techniques. With a background in fashion design and years of research into natural dyes, Kaur envisioned Neelgar as a space of purity, originality, and reinvention.

Over the past two decades, Neelgar has grown into a respected name in India's textile landscape. It offers silk scarves, stoles, saris, shawls, kurta sets, and yardage; each piece is defined by uncompromising attention to detail. Beyond product, Neelgar has built a philosophy: reviving heritage crafts, sustaining artisan livelihoods, and infusing textiles with contemporary sensibilities.
