This town is famous for dress materials and handicrafts. Shuhash Chowk is at the center of the town. There are several weavers available at Mandvi. They produce famous Bandhani saree

We visited such a village at near Mandvi . Gone to a weaver family. Ladies here prepare Bandhni sarees. These sarees they supply to different cities upto Mumbai. Very simple people. As the products are prepared by hand weaving so it takes nearly three months for one artician to prepare one sharee or dress material.
