Saree belts are the jewellery moment redefining the modern Indian bridal drape

Once a functional detail and today a fashion-forward flourish, saree belts have quietly evolved into one of the most striking accessories for Indian festive and bridal wear. Traditionally known as kamarband or vaddanam, these waist-cinching adornments are no longer just about securing the saree, but about sculpting the silhouette and adding personality to the look. This season, saree belts are stepping into the spotlight, becoming the ultimate hero piece that transforms even the simplest drape into something unforgettable.
