Bridging Varanasi Katans and Lucknow Chikankari directly with collectors pan-India and globally. Direct, fair cooperative channels.
Holding a degree in Fine Arts & Advertising, Varsha started the curation boutique in Kuala Lumpur. Her focus is verifying handwoven textiles directly at the looms of Varanasi, ensuring collectors receive authentic, museum-grade Katan silks with certified provenance documents.
We partner directly with family weaving clusters in Varanasi. Every saree is woven using Kaashi's historic double-twist Katan silk wraps and pure gold zari threads. Our direct- loom purchase agreements protect weavers from merchant exploitation, routing 92% of the trade value directly back to the looms.
Our hand-embroidered shadow and Murri stitch details are crafted by rural craftswomen guilds in Lucknow. Bypassing central commercial exporters, our embroidery groups operate on cooperative fair-wage parameters, allowing female artisans to achieve financial self-reliance directly from their homes.
We bypass brokers. Our pricing reflects direct procurement costs, paying fair wages directly to our weaving cooperatives.
Each saree is tag-linked with the name and location of the weaver who hand-loomed it. True provenance.
We work exclusively with organic threads and tested zari, supporting sustainable silk farm operations in India.
