From temple-border Kanjivarams to featherlight Banarasi georgettes — sarees for the wedding, the festival, and the everyday extraordinary.
Vastralaya began in a two-loom workshop in 1948. Three-quarters of a century later, we still refuse the power-loom. Every saree in this house is woven by hand, on a pit loom, by artisans who learned the craft from their grandparents.
We work directly with weaving families across Kanchipuram and Varanasi — no middlemen, fair wages, and a signed provenance card in every drape.
Raw mulberry silk is reeled, degummed and dyed in small copper vats with colour-fast pigment.
Thousands of warp threads are mounted by hand — a single misalignment ruins the border.
Gold zari is introduced on the pit loom. A bridal saree can take up to forty days.
The saree is washed, pressed, inspected under daylight and issued a provenance card.
