That's a cotton printed saree and almost every Bengali woman used to have at least half a dozen. They turn wonderfully soft with every wash, and later used to be stitched in kanthas or used as kitchen wipes.

Some people also liked the fact that the luxury brand is now reasonable and accessible to middle class people. There are reports that the whole collection was sold out just in few hours after the release.
