2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – Brief History

Rooted in centuries-old textile traditions, the Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi brand was born from a deep reverence for India’s handloom heritage. Shanmuga Priya, a cultural curator from Tamil Nadu, and Azhagi, a textile revivalist from Madurai, joined forces to bridge South Indian weaving excellence with North Indian artisanal techniques like bandhani.

This Raw Mango x Bandhani Saree symbolizes that union – where the rich, golden tones of Tamil Nadu’s iconic raw mango silk meet the intricate tie-dye artistry of Kutch. Each saree is woven and dyed by master artisans using methods passed down through generations, ensuring every piece carries the soul of Indian craftsmanship.

More than fashion, it’s a movement to preserve dying arts, support weaver communities, and celebrate the saree as a living heirloom.
