2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – The Story Behind the Saree

The Banarasi x Raw Mango Saree is more than fabric—it’s a narrative woven through time. Banarasi silk, originating in the holy city of Varanasi over 500 years ago, was once reserved for royalty and temple deities. Its hallmark: dense brocade, Mughal-inspired florals, and shimmering zari threads spun from real silver and gold.

In recent years, designer Raw Mango reimagined this heritage by infusing it with minimalist cuts, organic textures, and a modern Indian sensibility. Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi honor this evolution by bridging ancestral artistry with conscious design—ensuring every saree tells a story of culture, continuity, and care.

This collaboration celebrates India’s textile soul while empowering artisan communities and championing slow fashion in a fast-paced world.
