Why Chennai patrons commission Hyderabad
Chennai has Kanchipuram on its doorstep and the great Mylapore houses for everyday Kanjivaram. Patrons come to us for two reasons. One, the archival bridal Kanjivaram, true 1000-button korvai, deep maroon-and-mustard pallu, the weight class only a handful of weaving families still produce. Two, the North Indian repertoire: Banarasi Shikargah, Patan Patola, Maheshwari, Chanderi, the heritage weaves Chennai itself sees less of. We curate both worlds on one Jubilee Hills floor.
