There's something magical about the sari.
At first, it just looks like six yards of cloth, even if it is exquisitely designed, woven, studded, sequinned, embroidered or embellished.
But when these six yards are draped around a woman, something enchanting happens.
It becomes a sari, a garment so versatile that it can be worn for any occasion, in styles that lend themselves to amazing levels of creativity.
It could be a light mulmul or cotton sari that helps you beat the summer's heat.
Or a tissue sari in metallic shades that need no other reason to stand out.
Sequinned numbers that encourage you to party.
Elegant organza and chiffon drapes that are perfect for an evening soiree.
