Our Heritage

Four generations at the same loom.

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.

The Weave

From cocoon to drape.

01

Reeling

Raw mulberry silk is reeled, degummed and dyed in small copper vats with colour-fast pigment.

02

Warping

Thousands of warp threads are mounted by hand — a single misalignment ruins the border.

03

Weaving

Gold zari is introduced on the pit loom. A bridal saree can take up to forty days.

04

Finishing

The saree is washed, pressed, inspected under daylight and issued a provenance card.
