A bride’s trousseau is not just a collection of clothes — it is a treasure chest of lots and lots of memory of cultural home heritage, ancestral lifestyle, legacy, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. Among all the garments a bride and her mother always choose a handwoven piece, chooses always that stays with her all life long. Handwoven sarees hold the deepest emotional and cultural meaning.
