2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship (Short History)

The Pure Gachi Tussar with Eco Natural Print & Hand Kantha Stitch is a tribute to India’s enduring textile soul. Tussar silk, historically known as “wild silk,” has been woven in forest-rich regions since ancient times—cherished in temples, royal courts, and spiritual rituals for its organic glow and sacred warmth.

Layered onto this luxurious base is Kantha embroidery, one of India’s oldest stitching traditions from rural Bengal. Traditionally practiced by women, Kantha began as a way to repurpose old sarees into quilts, each stitch telling stories of motherhood, devotion, and daily life. Over centuries, it evolved into a delicate art form of running stitches forming lotus, peacocks, and swirling vines.

Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi revives this heritage by merging handwoven Tussar silk with eco-natural printing and hand Kantha embroidery—a fusion of sustainability, storytelling, and artisan pride. Founded by textile revivalist Shanmuga Priya and conscious design advocate Azhagi, the brand empowers women artisans across West Bengal and South India, ensuring traditional crafts thrive in the modern world.
