Manipuri sarees are lightweight woven silk sarees from the handloom tradition of Manipur, known for clean stripes and contrast temple borders. Sourced direct from weavers, with COD and 7-day returns.
About Manipuri weaving
Manipur's weaving is centred on the loin-loom tradition of the Meitei community, where women weavers have long produced fine temple-border textiles with geometric precision. The result is a drape that is quieter than a Kanjivaram or Banarasi: less zari, more colour discipline and a soft fall that suits a full day in the saree.
What this collection offers
All 12 sarees currently live in this collection are woven Manipuri-style silk sarees across six colour families: red, blue, green, yellow, orange and pink. Most have a plain or subtly striped body with a woven contrast border. One piece, the Metallic Seaweed Blue, carries a candy temple border with Pichwai-inspired detailing for those who want more visible artwork.

How it compares
Against a Kanjivaram or Banarasi, Manipuri silk is lighter and less zari-heavy. If you like the lightweight drape, also explore Tussar sarees, Pashmina sarees and handloom sarees.
Care
Dry clean recommended. Store folded in a cotton or muslin wrap rather than plastic, and refold along a different line every few months.
