2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship (Short History)

Rooted in the ancient weaving traditions of South India, Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi revives the lost art of handwoven Tussar silk through ethical fashion. Tussar silk, known as "wild silk," has been cherished for centuries in Indian culture for its coarse elegance and natural gold hue. Our Pure Gachi Tussar with Batik Print blends this heritage with the eco-conscious batik technique—originally inspired by Indonesian art but reimagined using Indian botanical dyes and hand-block resist methods.

Shanmuga Priya, a textile revivalist, and Azhagi, a sustainable fashion advocate, founded this label to empower rural weavers and protect eco-sensitive dyeing practices. Every saree tells a story—of forest silk, artisan hands, and sustainable beauty—woven into a legacy that honors both people and planet.
