Birthed from the belief that there is no apparel more classy and comfortable than a saree, through Endé, our dream was to make sarees more accepted and loved by women in their 20s and 30s - not just an occasional garment borrowed from our mothers, but something that we make space for in our own wardrobeso.
Endé’s sarees are handwoven by skilled weavers from different parts of India, to preserve our weaving heritage and craftsmanship, creating heirlooms for the millennial generation at affordable and accessible price points.
Khesh weaving is a beautiful textile process that involves the use of old cotton saris, which are recycled to create stripe designs. The weft insertions are made of recycled cotton saris, while the warp is made of new yarn, either cotton or a combination of silk and cotton. The technique of weaving with shreds of old sarees, called “khesh,” was started in the early 1920s in Birbhum district, West Bengal. It has since become a unique and exclusive way to recycle old cotton saris.
Khesh weaving is not simple, and the tearing process of the old saris is as labor-intensive as the weaving process. The weaver hangs the torn strips beside them for easy accessibility and weaves with whichever strip comes up randomly. The end result is a new sari blended from old saris with unique color gradations.
Gently hand wash in cold water, and air dry the saree in shade. Iron in medium heat only.
Every piece is designed and crafted by hand. Any unevenness in texture or embroidery is not a defect, but a characteristic of the handwoven product and a part of the process, that makes it unique. We do not mass produce our clothes- each piece is specially tailored for you.

Behind The Weave
Dyeing
Before the weaving of any saree, the cotton yarns are dyed into desired colours. It is the process by which the natural silk yarns or cotton yarns are separated from the bundle and dipped into a soap solution. Then, the required dye is mixed into this solution and the yarns are further dipped to absorb the colour. After some time, the yarns are taken out and, with a rod, the excess of water is squeezed out from the dyed yarn. These dyed yarns are kept under the sun to dry.
Combing Of Threads
The dyed and dried yarn is combed and separated by hand, spread across two poles. This helps the yarn retain its colour and also, allows the weaver to apply starch to the threads, making them crisp and ready - for winding the bobbins.
Winding & Warping
Winding is the process of transferring yarn or thread from one type of package to another. It is one of the most important operations and involves the transfer of yarn from a ring bobbin or hank into a convenient form of package containing a considerable long length of yarn.
Warping is the stage after winding. The process involves transferring yarn from a predetermined number of tubes, cones or cheeses positioned on the creel onto a warper's beam or a weaver's beam.
Weaving
Weaving is the interlacing of two distinct yarns/threads at right angles to create the fabric/textile. The manipulation of the foot pedals to lift the warp has to be in sync with the throwing of the shuttle which carries the weft yarn. A perfect weave demands coordination between mind and body.
