Styling, from the house.
The Tant is the everyday saree of Bengal — crisp, light, designed for Calcutta heat and Calcutta humidity. We recommend a Tant for the morning, the office, the small temple visit, the everyday. The starch is part of the saree; replace it as it loosens.
01
Daily
A simple cotton blouse. Shaakha pola for married Bengali women; a single bangle otherwise.
02
Office
A bigger pottu, a thin chain, glasses. The Tant is uniform-formal in a way nothing else is.
03
Care
Cold hand-wash after the first three dry-cleans. Starch lightly. Iron damp.
