If there’s a silhouette that has shaped the style of Indian women, it’s undoubtedly the sari. Since its origin, which can be traced to over 5000 years ago, the staple has seen many versions. Some are specific to states (there’s Bandhini from Gujarat, kanjeevaram from Tamil Nadu, and of course brocade from Benares) and the others come courtesy of the country’s designers who are always sending out fresh spins on the fluid, unstitched fabric. On our website itself, you’ll find renditions spanning ruffled, monochrome and even one paired with pants. So, just in time for International Women’s Day, we thought we should round up our favourite iterations of the sari – a mainstay in the closets of the country’s multitasking women.
