2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – Brief History

Rooted in the cultural heartland of Tamil Nadu, Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi began as a passionate revival project to preserve India’s fading handloom traditions. Founded by textile connoisseurs Shanmuga Priya and Azhagi, the brand collaborates with generational weavers and natural dye experts to create sarees that tell stories – of temples, classical dance, and rural artistry.

This Pure Tussar Silk with Zari Hand-Painted Saree embodies that legacy. Tussar silk, once reserved for royalty, is now reimagined with contemporary hand-painted zari motifs inspired by Thanjavur art and Bharatanatyam jewelry. Each saree takes 7–10 days to complete, blending ancient weaving techniques with modern design sensibilities.
