Fabric Overview

Woven on pit looms in Chanderi and Maheshwar (Madhya Pradesh), these are two sibling traditions built on the same weaver economy. Chanderi is famous for its almost transparent silk-cotton ground with a subtle sheen and fine zari checks; Maheshwari is heavier, with its distinctive reversible border and a signature five-stripe pallu. Both dye beautifully in soft, jewel-toned pastels and carry a body that is unusual for such a light fabric — they hold their line rather than crumple.
