2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – Short Brand History
Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi was born from a shared dream — to bridge India’s weaving traditions through collaborative artistry.

Shanmuga Priya, a third-generation weaver from Kanchipuram, mastered the art of zari borders and silk luster, while Azhagi, from Telangana, inherited the intricate double ikat (Pochampally) technique passed down through her family. When their paths crossed at a national craft fair, they envisioned a new kind of saree — one that honors both legacies.

The "Fusion - Kanchi × Pochampally" collection is the result: where Tamil Nadu’s opulence meets Telangana’s geometry. Each saree is handwoven over 7–10 days, blending Kanchipuram’s gold-threaded borders with Pochampally’s vibrant tie-dye precision. This collaboration revives dying crafts, empowers rural artisans, and celebrates India’s textile diversity in every thread.

This isn’t just a saree — it’s a dialogue between cultures, centuries, and skilled hands.

4. Wash & Care Instructions
🧽 Hand Wash Only – Use cold water and mild baby shampoo or silk-safe detergent
🌀 Do Not Soak – Limit soaking to 10 minutes to protect zari & color integrity
☀️ Dry in Shade – Never expose directly to sunlight — prevents fading and fiber damage
🚫 No Bleach or Harsh Chemicals
🪡 Iron on Low Heat (Silk Setting) – Place a cotton cloth between iron and saree to protect zari work
📦 Store Folded with Cotton Cloth – Avoid plastic; use muslin wrap to prevent moisture buildup
🔁 Refold Occasionally – Prevents permanent crease lines during long-term storage

Pro Tip: Air out once every 3 months to keep silk fresh and moth-free.
