Only a true saree lover will know the pride of donning elegance that took 3 to 10 days to create by more than one pair of hands. From the sound of that, even if you aren't a six-yard addict, your wardrobe deserves handloom sarees simply because they're timeless and a must-have. Tarya from Chennai can help with their online store, that in short is handloom heaven.
Founder, Priya has personally met and chosen artisans across states to design and source only the best. No reseller business here! She shares working with these craftsmen also highlights the meaning and effort behind every piece; something that impacts and makes handloom sarees more than just a purchase to both parties. Sure shot keepers from Tarya's collection would be the Banarasi Pure Katan Silk Saree (boasting of intricate and rich handwork) from Varanasi, Cotton Sarees from weaving clusters of Pothampally, Telangana (the yarn on these beauties are polished in a way that it has sheen and softness, almost like cotton silk) and Ikat Cotton Silks and Mangalagiri Sarees. You have also got to check out Tarya's new launch of Ajrakh Sarees, the one with the classy tile design is sure to make an impression.
For everyday wear, the Narayanpet Handloom Cotton comes highly recommended for they are ultra light and starch free sarees. Tarya, also has gorgeous designs from stripes to dreamy and wispy block-printed to big zari borders. Our heart also did a little joy dance when we found out that they also have a small collection of handloom western dresses. We're talking Kalamkari fit-n-flares, Khadi Off-Shoulder Gowns and Ajrakh Bodycon Dress.
