About Loom Sarees

Loom Sarees began as a labour of love, a tribute to the ancient art form of handwoven Kanjivaram silk sarees and Kanchi cotton sarees, tirelessly created on the loom by the seldom-celebrated and rarely thanked weavers. 

In a world of modernity and movement, the saree represents a rich cultural heritage, passed down the generations, that extends in its beauty to every aspect of life.

Where the new age of beauty is constant scrutiny and judgement, the saree is a timeless work of art that survives passing trends and surpasses shifting standards with unparalleled elegance and class - a single masterpiece of fabric that celebrates femininity without revealing it and embraces the silhouette without constricting it.

When draped, the saree is not a commentary on the body that wears it, but a love letter to the generations of wearers across thousands of years: a living lineage in every stitch. The saree does not simply clothe a woman; it deifies her. 

Sarees are embedded in our mythologies, wrapped around gods and carved into temple stone.

A saree can tell countless stories: legends and tales literally woven into illustrations along the pallu, the style of drape an identity of geography and subculture, and the very weaves themselves holding meaning. Sarees have held power, and heralded the rise and fall of empires from the time of the Mahabharata to colonial rule to the 20th-century cultural revival. 

And through it all, the artists unseen have been the weavers, losing thumbs to the pride in their delicate work. These artisans have sustained a tradition for over 5000 years, to such a standard that it remains not only relevant but essential in the modern day. 

And so, Loom Sarees is committed to celebrating these artisans, working directly with weavers to preserve and promote the work of generations. Our collections present not just a garment but a way of life - for casual wear and weddings, parties and prayer. Each piece is rich with design and deeply unique, ageless and timeless. 

We hope that you will join us in embracing a legacy of craftsmanship for the generations to come.
