"I grew up fascinated by sarees. My mum wore them every day to work, and as a kid, the moment I got back from school, I'd go straight for her wardrobe. Draping them wrong, tripping over them, trying again."

— Kavya, Founder of Nalivu

OUR FAVOURITE

MASTANI

Half of this saree is stark, plain black. The other half breaks into dense Badam Butta Ajrakh block print with mirrors scattered through it, and when light catches them, the whole saree comes alive. It's the kind of contrast that makes people look twice.

Testimonials From Our Customers

“I love the saree. It drapes like butter. Pleats - I just put them in, I didn't have to do anything. I just had to shake it and it fell into place. Such a pleasure that was! Like, I didn't have to fight with it. And when I picked the saree, I thought ‘Oh, this seems heavy’. But no, I wore it and it didn't feel heavy. I was very comfortable. So yeah, I loved it!”

“For someone who loves handloom & handcrafted products, I feel so excited I own an Ajrakh saree. I know this is not a random collection but is personally handpicked by Kavya — the fashionista herself. Also, to know the hard work and story behind those prints makes them extra special. Can't wait to hoard more! 😁”

“Loved it 😍 Thank you so much, Kavya, for sending the saree so quickly! My sister loved it. I am glad I could buy from you and you got it delivered on time, and that was the best part... I can connect with what you say. I always feel like I should do something for my sis, and I keep buying stuff for her. She loves it when I do that... she has a lot of black sarees already, but she loved this one and just couldn't say no 😄🤩💞”
