Frequently Asked Questions

What is a kasavu saree?

A kasavu saree is Kerala's traditional off white saree with a gold zari border, worn for Onam, Vishu, weddings and temple visits. Ours are woven in pure mul cotton, so they stay light and soft.

Why choose a mul cotton kasavu saree?

Mul cotton is softer and lighter than regular Kerala cotton, so it drapes easily and stays comfortable in humid weather. It also gets softer with every wash.

How do I care for a kasavu saree?

Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, or dry clean to keep the zari bright. Dry in shade and store folded in a cotton cloth so the gold border does not tarnish.

Kerala Kasavu Sarees: Handwoven Off White and Gold for Onam

Few drapes carry as much meaning as the Kerala kasavu saree. The off white body with its gold zari border is worn for Onam, for temple visits, and for family gatherings across Kerala and far beyond it. Our collection brings that tradition into pure mul cotton, soft enough for a long festive day and light enough for the humidity that comes with it.

The Kasavu Set Saree, Understood

A traditional set saree pairs an unstitched drape with a matching mundu, and the gold zari border is what defines it. Ours are woven in fine mul cotton, so the fabric breathes and softens with each wash rather than sitting stiff against the skin. The zari catches light without overwhelming the natural cream of the base cloth.

Styling a Kerala Saree

Keep the palette honest. Gold jewellery, a simple gold or cream blouse, and jasmine in the hair is the classic pairing, and it still looks right. For a contemporary take, a deep green or maroon blouse against the off white body reads modern while respecting the form.
