Fabric Guide
The cloth decides everything
Colour catches the eye, embroidery catches the light — but the fabric decides how an outfit feels, moves, breathes, and ages. Because every piece we make is cut to order, you choose the fabric first. This guide explains each one: where it comes from, what it means, and what it's best at.
Kanjivaram Silk
South India's temple silk — heavy, lustrous, and woven with contrast borders built to last generations.
Chiffon & Georgette
The fluid sisters of Indian party wear — soft, forgiving drapes that move with you on the dance floor.
Chanderi
Feather-light silk-cotton from Madhya Pradesh with a glassy sheen — festive polish without festive weight.
Organza
Sheer, crisp, and weightless — the fabric behind the floaty party sarees dominating festive wardrobes right now.
Cotton & Khadi
Breathable, honest, handspun — everyday luxury with the deepest roots of any Indian cloth.
