About us
Our story goes back to 1906, when we entered the Kanjivaram silk saree industry with just a few looms. This eventually snowballed into a network of over 1000 master weavers-crème dela crème of the handloom society. Decades of research has gone into our looms and patterns of weaving, which have gotten more intricate and delicate with time:
While our designs are strongly rooted in tradition, over the years we have adopted a mix of contemporary styles to accommodate changing trends and desires. Our goal is to make saris that fit any and all occasion, ranging from bridal, casual, work, party wear or even for a stroll at the park on a hot summers day.:
Our portfolio now includes Kanjivaram silk sarees, Banarasi kora silks, Rajkot patola, unique soft silks and light weight silks among many others.

Weavers no longer have to use physical force to operate the loom. With pneumatics, a gentle tap of the pedal operates the jacquard machine

Every thread is individually prepared for the weaving process. There are approximately 5500 individual threads that make up the warp of a Kanjivaram silk saree!
While our weavers use the same technique that have been shaped and perfected over centuries, we also make sure to reduce the physical burden/monotony of the process. Striking this balance is critical to sustaining the industry of handlooms.
