There are so many things that make the Indian sari so special, wanted and sought after. Coming in an incredible range of colors, fabrics, designs, and patterns a saree in the traditional sense is a wrapped garment, which, is not a dress but a piece of woven fabric about 5-6 yards in width and 44" in length. There are multiple ways to drape a saree and an experienced person can wear the saree materiel without zippers, buttons, hooks or any other type of fasteners.

Styles of dress change throughout the world but the Sari has survived unchanged because it has been the main article of Indian clothing from the beginning of recorded time. 75% of the Indian population wear sari. Indian clothing uses the saree as shorts, trousers, a flowing gown-like garment or a skirt all without a single stitch! So Saree uses this idea, all Indian fashion is one size fits all and all Indian fashion accessories use no zippers or metal fasteners, only Velcro. All of our saree are hand selected, and are hand stitched in Mysore India. Each saree is selected for the specific design to create a harmonious effect. One skirt can use 15 different saree!

One Saree, many incarnations, some interesting facts:
Some people think that Indian saree is influenced by Greek or Roman toga which we see on ancient statues. This is not correct. Saree is traditional Indian clothing and designed to suit local conditions. Cotton was cultivated in India centuries before Alexander the Great landed on the borders of India and Indian cloth (chira or Saree) was a wonder to Greek eyes. In fact, Herodotus and other ancient western historians thought there were cloth-growing trees in India!

Raja Ravi Varma, the distinguished painter of 19th century, toured the entire sub-continent in search of the ideal female-wear. He wanted the best dress for the various goddesses he was asked and commissioned to paint. He selected the saree! Most of the female deities he painted are in this style.
