Chanderi is not a new invention. It has been woven in the town of Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh, since at least the fifteenth century, and every piece carries that lineage in its weight and drape. Light, semi-sheer, with a natural lustre that no synthetic fabric has ever replicated. The Thread Weavers' Chanderi sarees range from handblock printed cotton Chanderi at ₹1,439 to delicately embroidered and handblock printed silk Chanderi pieces up to ₹4,799, each one made to be worn at the kind of occasion you remember.
