Handwoven Pure Zari Pure Cotton Sari

Parvai's Promise

This exquisite sari is a testament to our most cherished endeavour, showcasing the artistry of a dedicated community of skilled cotton weavers from Peringammala. Nestled near Kovalam in the picturesque Thiruvananthapuram district, this quaint village is renowned as the cradle of Kerala handloom. Each thread woven into this sari tells a story of tradition, passion, and the enriching craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations, making it a truly unique and special piece. But most importantly, it tells the story of its patrons, both men and women, who bear the tradition and legacy marked by courage and restraint.
