Start with a weave

Nine fabric families. Each one behaves differently on the body — that is usually the decision, not the colour.

The questions we are actually asked

If yours is not here, write to us. A person answers.

Ask us

That is the one thing we underwrite. Every saree is shot at 5000K against an 18% grey card. If the shade that arrives is not the shade you saw, the return is free and we pay both ways.

6.3 m with a blouse piece for a first saree — the extra length gives you room to make mistakes with the pleats. 5.5 m if you already drape confidently.

No. One price, held all year, in every country we ship to.

Dry clean, and store rolled in a cotton mulmul cloth rather than hung.
