Every Kalakshetra sari is hand-crafted, exclusive and stunningly simple. The luster of the silk or the purity of the cotton, the intricate traditional designs, the contrasting borders and pallus often done in pure gold or silver zari, speak of an art that knows no compromise on quality. Kalakshetra saris are so in demand that customers have waited even a year for an order to be executed.

The good news is that Loom World customers can buy Kalakshetra saris straight off the shelf. The Kalakshetra Foundation has permitted the Tamil Nadu Department of Handlooms and Textiles to use its designs and patterns.
At present, 400 Kalakshetra saris await you at the Loom World shop. And there's much more to come...

Devoted to the revival and continuance of Indian arts and crafts, The Kalakshetra Foundation in Chennai epitomizes the glory and elegance of tradition. Saris have been coming off its looms since 1937.

With the Eco-weave collection, we return to an art form that is nearly 5,000 years old - the use of natural dyes. Drawing upon the ancient knowledge of dyes extracted from nature, weavers today are creating saris that are not just beautiful but also environment-friendly.

The Loom World shop offers you over 200 naturally dyed silk saris to choose from. And when you drape yourself in an Eco-weave sari, you have the satisfaction of knowing that the dyes used are non-carcinogenic, non-toxic and gentle on your skin. Produced by 21 Handloom Weavers' Cooperative Societies, the Eco-weave range marks the reemergence of an age-old art.
