Ponduru Sarees

Ponduru cotton sarees originate from the northeastern region of Andhra Pradesh, specifically the Srikakulam district. Made from premium cotton grown in the hilly areas, these sarees offer a refined and elegant drape. The Jamdani weaving technique, which involves intricate hand-weaving, is labor-intensive. The basic loom provides weavers with immense flexibility to create detailed patterns. Due to the painstaking process, these sarees are highly valued and priced at a premium.

Every Ponduru saree you wear is a testament to India’s centuries-old craftsmanship. It is not just a garment; it is a piece of heritage, woven with dedication and skill. Explore our exclusive Ponduru Collection and own a piece of this legacy.

Uppada Handloom

Exquisite pieces of art from the small coastal town of Uppada in the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, these sarees are known for their lightweight texture and intricate designs. The weavers use the age-old Jamdani technique to create elaborate patterns, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Uppada sarees are woven with pure silk threads, sometimes mixed with zari for a luxurious touch. Bright colors and motifs inspired by nature—flowers, leaves, and birds—give these sarees their signature charm.

Kalamkari by Kankatala

Though not a weaving technique, Kalamkari holds a significant place in Andhra Pradesh’s textile tradition. Pen Kalamkari is a traditional art form of hand-painting that originated in the state. The term “Kalamkari” comes from two words: “Kalam” (pen) and “Kari” (craftsmanship). Artisans use natural dyes to create intricate designs on pure silk sarees. Unlike block-printed or screen-printed Kalamkari, Pen Kalamkari is entirely handmade and demands exceptional skill and patience. The process involves preparing the fabric, outlining designs with a bamboo pen, and filling colors using dyes extracted from plants. Each saree is a labor of love, showcasing exquisite detailing and uniqueness.

A masterpiece in textile art, Kalamkari sarees bring alive tradition in every stroke. Explore our Kalamkari Collection and embrace the artistry of handmade elegance.
