Savitri
A stunning pure silk sari, handwoven in Kanchipuram in a lovely shade of lavender, is a sight to behold. A stunning floral, pure gold zari brocade adorns the pallu while the sari maintains its simplicity and beauty in its plain body and ratta petta sadhura kamalam motif lines along the border. The self design chevron patterns between the motif lines on the borders give the sari its perfect fall. This elegant drape is paired with a heavily broacded blouse in the same colour.

- Garment care: Take care of your garment, for these are heirloom pieces that patrons can pass across generations. We recommend gently hand-washing these sarees in cool water with mild detergent. Shade dry these sarees & avoid drying them under direct sunlight.
Process
Hand-crafted products have true personality; they express character, skill and culture. Who designed the product? Was there an inspiration behind the design? How do you know that the garment was made with love? How would you know if those who made them were healthy, motivated, and happy artisans? The only way is to observe and appreciate the process. We allow the process to be seen there by empowering the patron to see the impact they yield on the process.
