Maya’s journey began here, with just ten handloom Kanchi cotton sarees offered as a trunk sale, 13 years ago. Parutti in Tamil means cotton. The category of finest curated Kanchi Cotton has the same name.
Ask any woman who has draped cotton sarees for long; they will unmistakably say that it is their attire of choice. It is a wear for all seasons…that keeps them cool in summer and warm when chilly. But, beyond that, there is something that’s really cool about them. Elegance! That’s what it is!
Bring up images of actress Sri Devi in the Bollywood movie-English-Vinglish…draping gorgeous Kanchi cottons throughout the movie. (Here’s a secret. Some of those handloom beauties came from our favorite weaver!). One particular beauty was a bottle green with rich thread work with a beautiful paisley corner motif.
At WeaveMaya, our co-founder Mr. Srinath Rao pens blogs about sarees with wonder, admiration, and a dash of delightful male cluelessness!
