History & Lore
The gorgeous weave of Chanderi silk has its roots in the heart of India; Madhya Pradesh. These sarees are from the vibrant and historical town of Chanderi. Where ancient ruins stand tall as a reminder of the past and the craftsmanship steadily continues to breathe new life into the lives of saree lovers till this date.
The tales of Chanderi fabric dates back to the times of Lord Krishna when his cousin Shishupal cited the use of Chanderi in the ancient literature. Also, one can find its mention in the old books like Maasir-i-Alamgir where Aurangzeb ordered the use of cloth embroidered with gold, silver and zari for making the khilat (a ceremonial robe or other gift given to someone by a superior). The grace and beauty of this fabric is enhanced by the fringes embellished with gold and silver threads. Transparency and softness of this fabric favoured royal patronage and was also exported overseas. The rich upper-class women of the highbrow society favoured the exotic handloom of Chanderi silk to reflect the essence of Indian traditional wear.
