For anyone who has ever seen, worn or possessed a saree, there would be no denying that handloom has something magical about it. The beauty and charm of the distinctive weaves, looms and craft techniques make every piece of handloom desirable.

India has, for years, been a land of weavers who upheld the rich cultural craftsmanship through their hand crafting across various parts of the country. Each state of India has something unique to offer when it comes to handloom. The rich diversity of this country is well captured through the fabrics woven at different places by local weavers and it gives a distinctive characteristic to the created piece. So whether it is a Benarasi Silk from the land of Ganges or a Tussar Silk from Bihar, whether it is a Patola from Gujarat or an Ikat from Odisha, a Kanjeevaram from Tamil Nadu or Gadwal from Andhra Pradesh each piece has a unique charm about it and each style speaks volumes about their local culture, art and craft.
