Kousalya Collection

Kousalya is a tribute to the timeless elegance of South Indian silk traditions, bringing together the distinctive character of Ilkal with the grandeur of a Kanjivaram-inspired border.

Ilkal sarees have a rich textile heritage associated with the town of Ilkal in Karnataka. One of their most distinctive traditional features is the Tope Tenni technique, historically used to join the saree body and pallu, creating the characteristic geometric and structured appearance of the pallu. The traditional Ilkal aesthetic is also known for its striking pallu and border combinations.

The Kousalya Collection takes inspiration from this heritage and presents it through a powerloom-woven 100% pure silk saree, enhanced with a rich Kanjivaram-style border, traditional Tope-style pallu and butta detailing across the saree body. The result is a graceful blend of traditional inspiration and contemporary Chhabi craftsmanship.

Please Note

This is a 100% pure silk powerloom saree and should not be considered a handloom saree. The collection draws inspiration from traditional Ilkal and South Indian silk aesthetics while being produced on a powerloom.

Since silk is a natural fibre, slight variations in texture, sheen, colour, weave and finish may naturally occur. These variations are part of the character of silk and are not considered defects.

The exact colour of the saree may vary slightly from photographs depending on lighting, photography conditions and individual screen settings. Minor variations in butta placement or weaving details may also occur.

Care Instructions

Dry clean only.

Store the saree folded in a clean cotton or muslin cloth in a dry place. Avoid direct sunlight, moisture, harsh perfumes and prolonged exposure to heat. Refold periodically to maintain the fabric and preserve its finish.
