The Legacy of Maheshwari Fabric
Originating from the royal town of Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, Maheshwari weaving dates back to the 18th century under the patronage of Queen Ahilyabai Holkar. Known for its silk-cotton blend, reversible borders, and lightweight comfort, Maheshwari fabric is perfect for both festive wear and daily elegance.

The Art of Handblock Printing
Handblock printing is one of the oldest textile printing techniques in India. Skilled artisans carve intricate motifs onto wooden blocks, dip them in natural dyes, and press them onto the fabric to create unique patterns. Each impression carries the mark of human artistry, making every piece slightly different and beautifully unique.
