It will be a crime to visit here and ask for power looms produced cheaper versions of sarees at this home-run saree boutique! Well, it is not the right thing to start an article with a negative tone but such is the pride behind handloom craftsmanship.
Here is introducing Pune’s largest home boutique dedicated to handloom Maheshwari and Chanderi sarees. Located inside a heritage bungalow near Ghole road, Jain Chanderiwala has been in Pune since ages. These people are not just retail sellers but have their looms in Madhya Pradesh which craft the wide range of sarees on display here. So here, you are not buying from a seller, they are the makers too!
Chanderi and Maheshwari Sarees, in our opinion, are the most elegant saree varieties of India. The vibrant yet classy colors, shiny yet rich fabrics that are hand woven and minimalist motifs make a lady look classier version of herself! That makes this a very important exploration of ours when it comes to fashion in Pune. Jain Chanderiwala is exclusively stocking only Chanderi and Maheshwari sarees at their home boutique.
The price range starts from a basic Rs. 1500/- for a cotton saree and even crosses Rs. 50,000/- for a silk saree with golden zari work. Right from elegant plain cotton sarees, you get a range that features pure silk and exquisite zari handwork. But one thing stays common among all sarees on display here, they are all handloom produced. Also, the dyes used for coloring these sarees are all natural dyes making them all free from chemicals.
Mr. Jain explains, “Since these are handcrafted and dyed naturally, getting another piece of the same saree is impossible. There will be color variations, pattern variations, etc since a human hand is making it and not a machine. And that is the real beauty of these sarees!”
We found their Chanderi and Maheshwari silk and cotton saree collection to be very stunning! It is definitely a treat for those who appreciate and look for handloom sarees. It’s a must visit in Pune whenever you go saree shopping. Ladies can thank us later!
