Chanderi Sarees - Cocktail

Chanderi’s natural sheen and airy texture create a subtle radiance that feels especially striking in the evening. The fabric’s airiness allows comfort through long evenings, while its flowy fall ensures effortless draping.

• Sheerness and Glow—Pure silk Chanderi reflects light beautifully, lending an ethereal aura in dimly lit ambiences.
• Versatile Styling—Chanderi can go from a traditional textile to a modern look with a halter, corset, or textured velvet blouse.
• Heritage—Each vintage Chanderi saree bears centuries of Indian textile history, making it an elegant and significant choice for an occasion where dignity and taste are taken into account.

Every Chanderi saree at the atelier is hand-finished for seamless drape and impeccable fall. The subtleties—subtle zari outlines, floral motifs, and geometry—honour tradition while avoiding the urge to illustrate the occasion using simple, modern design language. The colour range of the collection begins with soft pastels and ends with jewelled tones—that is, something for everyone, for any whim and any urge of the evening.

Chanderi is such a fabric that it excels in modern styles, with its inherent sophistication giving you a multitude of options/styles while still keeping to the original formality of the saree.

• Jewellery—You can put the final touch on earrings or a necklace as coordinating pieces.
• Blouses—The ability to coordinate & mix them creates unique off-shoulder and halter necks or even mixes with textured cottons (think velvet and raw silks).
• Hair & Makeup—think chic buns with fun hair gems or romantic waves with a dramatic lip.
• Shoes—Crystal-beaded heels or block-heeled sandals support the depth of sophistication and keep that comfort level consistent.
• Drape—A draped palla over one shoulder is a nod to drama, while less-fussy, streamlined pleats provide sophisticated simplicity.
