The craft
Chanderi — how this piece is made
Woven over four days on a pit loom in Chanderi, this sari balances the lightness of cotton with the sheen of silk — a hallmark of the region's weaving tradition.
The region
Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh — a town whose name has been synonymous with fine handloom for centuries.
The artisan
Woven by a third-generation weaver family whose workshop sits two streets from the old fort. Each sari is signed on the inner selvedge.
