Behind the Seams – The Artistry & Craftsmanship in Every Ensemble
At Laxmi Saree Ghar, fashion is not just about fabric and style—it's about legacy, artisanship, and the soulful journey from sketch to stitch. Every ensemble in our showroom—be it a richly embroidered lehenga, an elegant gown, or a timeless Banarasi saree—is the result of skilled hands, deep-rooted traditions, and an unwavering passion for design. In this blog, we take you behind the scenes to explore the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into every outfit we create and curate.
A Legacy of Handcrafted Elegance
Since our establishment in 1970 in the culturally rich city of Varanasi, Laxmi Saree Ghar has stood as a testament to India’s incredible textile heritage. While fashion trends may evolve, the value of handmade artistry remains timeless. Our collection is sourced from and supported by artisans across the country—those who have inherited generational knowledge in weaving, embroidery, dyeing, and embellishment.
The Art of Weaving Heritage
At the heart of our collection lies the Banarasi saree, which originates from our very own city. These sarees are handwoven using fine silk threads and adorned with intricate zari work. It takes weeks or even months to complete a single Banarasi masterpiece. Our craftsmen work on traditional looms, often passing the skill down through generations. Each motif, whether it's a Mughal-inspired floral pattern or a geometric design, tells a story of culture and patience.
Intricate Embroidery That Speaks Volumes
Our lehengas and suits are not merely stitched—they are embroidered with love. From zardozi and aari work to mirror, sequin, and gota patti detailing, we ensure that every stitch aligns with your occasion and mood. Many of these embroidery techniques are regional and require immense precision. For example, zardozi involves metallic threadwork that adds grandeur, while aari embroidery creates elegant curves using hooked needles.
The Thoughtful Making of Indo-Western & Gowns
Even our contemporary ensembles like crop tops, Indo-western outfits, and evening gowns are crafted with a strong focus on structure and detail. The drape, fit, and flow of these garments are carefully engineered by our designers and tailors. Fabric selection—whether it’s georgette for flow, raw silk for texture, or net for layering—is never random. It’s always intentional, based on how the garment should move and feel on your skin.
Sustainable Practices Rooted in Tradition
In today’s world, fast fashion dominates. But at Laxmi Saree Ghar, we stand by slow fashion—each piece is thoughtfully made, often in collaboration with regional artisans and small workshops. By supporting this ecosystem, we are not just offering beautiful clothing but also uplifting communities and preserving dying crafts.
Why It Matters to You
When you wear an outfit from Laxmi Saree Ghar, you are wearing a story—of a weaver in Varanasi, a designer’s vision, an embroiderer’s delicate hand, and a family’s legacy of excellence. Our commitment goes beyond trends; it’s about giving you clothing with character and soul.
