Kalamkari means drawing with a pen. In pen Kalamkari the artist draws the story by hand with a bamboo kalam, so no two sarees are ever the same.
Our Kalamkari edit pairs that art with a Kanjivaram silk base: Ashta Lakshmi, a village festival and flowing floral panels. Every Kanjivaram here is Silk Mark certified.
Questions before you choose
Is Kalamkari printed or painted?
Each product page notes the technique used for that saree. Ask us if you would like to know more about a specific piece.
How should I care for a hand-painted saree?
Dry clean only, and keep it away from perfume and direct sunlight to protect the colours. See our care tips.
Can I see the painting up close?
Yes; book a video call and we will show you the full pallu and body in daylight.
