They are passionate connoisseurs of the ethereal upada, banarasi, paithani, venkatagiri, maheshwari, khadi, patola, kalamkari, kanjivaram sarees...

The customers, modern royalty really, are the very essence of the indian woman of today -- assured, knowledgeable, educated & aware. 

The connoisseurs of the hand-woven textiles are, one step at a time, connecting with the weavers keeping a curious and admiring eye out for the latest creation coming off the loom and gently leading to a meeting of aesthetics of the master craftsmen and the discerning wearer. 

These patronesses are extending a helping hand to secure for the weaver a life of financial & creative independence. 

Deeply connected & appreciative of the art of hand-weaving, these ladies are quietly spearheading a demand for the finest, almost extinct handcrafted textiles of our country.
