2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – Brief History

Rooted in the ancient weaving traditions of South India, Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi revives the art of handcrafted Tussar silk with a modern soul. The brand draws inspiration from temple motifs, classical dance, and Tamil literary heritage, blending them into wearable poetry.

Pure Gachi Tussar, a rare variant of wild silk, has been cherished since the Chola dynasty for its organic texture and lustrous depth. Combined with Aari embroidery—a Mughal-era needlecraft—and cutwork, a technique reminiscent of Kanchipuram’s temple carvings—this saree is a tribute to centuries-old Indian textile mastery. Each piece takes 15–20 days to complete, symbolizing patience, precision, and passion passed through generations.

Shanmuga Priya, a textile revivalist, and Azhagi, a heritage fashion curator, founded the label to empower rural artisans and preserve India’s vanishing handloom legacy—one saree at a time.
