2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship (Short History)

The Georgette Salwar Suit with Bullion and Kantha Knot is a modern heirloom rooted in India’s rich textile traditions. Kantha, one of Bengal’s oldest embroidery forms, began as a humble act of love—women stitching together old sarees into quilts, each running stitch narrating stories of motherhood, devotion, and daily life. Over centuries, it evolved into a refined art of floral vines, lotuses, and folk motifs.

Layered with Bullion stitch—a couture-level embroidery using tightly coiled silk threads to create 3D floral and scroll patterns—this ensemble bridges folk heritage and regal elegance. Originally used in European haute couture, Bullion has become a signature of Indian bridal opulence, symbolizing luxury and craftsmanship.

Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi reimagines this fusion for the contemporary woman—tradition meets modernity. Founded by textile revivalist Shanmuga Priya and sustainable design advocate Azhagi, the brand empowers women artisans across West Bengal and North India, ensuring endangered crafts thrive in today’s fashion world. This salwar suit isn’t just worn—it’s a celebration of heritage, resilience, and feminine artistry.
