Chennai’s Shilpi brings Karuppur kalamkari saris from Sikkinaickenpet

Chennai boutique Shilpi is sourcing Karuppur kalamkari saris from Sikkinaickenpet, where artisans dip cloth in milk, hand-paint motifs and wash the fabric in the river. The collaboration brings these traditional painted textiles into city stores for festive shoppers seeking authentic handcrafted wear this season. Shoppers can now find the craft without travelling to the weaving village.
