House of Joba — handwoven sarees from Narayanganj

“The indigo actually looks hand-dipped, not printed — you can see where the resist cracked a little on the border. Wore it to a wedding and three people asked where it was from.”

“Mul cotton this soft usually falls apart after two washes. This one is on its twelfth and the colour hasn’t budged. Worth every taka.”

“Bought it for my wife’s birthday. Delivery took a day longer than promised but the saree itself is gorgeous — the embroidery is denser than the photos suggest.”

“Mirror work is all hand-placed, no glue smell, nothing crooked. My mother-in-law tried to keep it after borrowing it for a night, so — high praise.”

“This is my third order from Joba. What keeps me coming back is that the block print is never perfectly even — that’s how you know a person made it, not a machine.”

“Kota doria this crisp is hard to find outside Rajasthan, let alone here. The applique butterflies held their shape even after starching.”
