These exquisite pieces take months of hard work and passion for making. The talented artisans put their sweat and blood all into these Handmade pieces.

🌸Time and Labor:
Weaving a handloom saree can take anywhere from 10 days to several months, depending on the complexity of the design. This is because artisans work meticulously, often by hand, to create each intricate design and ensure the quality of the weaving.

🌸Naturally sourced Raw Materials

Almost every artisan likes to use naturally sourced raw materials and natural dyes over cheap and chemical-filled raw materials. The chemically treated raw materials can harm in numerous ways. These cheap materials harm the climate and environment, plus they affect the skin too. It is impossible to wear these cheap materials in hot weather. The benefit of wearing pure Handloom is, the sarees are easy to carry, and even non-saree wearer can spend the whole day wearing a handwoven saree..
