the guide to your neighborhood || Maanini Vastra Samskrithi Studio ||
Sarees that 'speak' history (with)out borders!! Pasalapudi, Maheshwari, Ahimsa Maku, Negamam, Sachipar, Telia Rumaal, Baluchari, Muga Silk, Rajkot Patola Silk, Pochampally Cotton, Gadwal Cotton, Bahaa Cotton, Batik Cotton, Khes Cotton, Ilkal Cotton, Jharkhand Cotton, Mulberry Silk Saree, Kosa Silk, Telia Rumaal Silk, Pochampally Silk, Chattisgarh Fulia Silk – a 'discerning' shopper maybe would have 'heard' about them, but… BUT, if you knew where they come from and how they are 'made'; wouldn't it give you a better understanding of the six-yard wonder you wear?! Have you ever come across sarees that come in different hues not only from every nook and corner of our country, but across our borders too…all in one place?! Maanini Vastra Samskrithi Studio at Kalyan Nagar 1st block is differently and definitively unique in various ways! You may wonder; every 'saree shop' has hundereds of them or retail chains; thousands of them. So what's the specialty?? Its' the 'history' and 'geography' of each saree that will awe you with unbridled fascination!
Did you know; Baluchari sarees depict legendary mythological scenes from Ramayana and Mahabharat on the pallu and borders and that weaving a single saree takes more than two weeks?! Know further; The 'tradition' of weaving (of this saree) started in a small village called Baluchar over 300 years ago and that the yarn is boiled in soda and soap solution and later dyed in acidic colors before being stretched out. Lastly, these sarees are polished after weaving to achieve the finesse! This is just 'one' small story! There are more than 140 such ones!!
Actually, Maanini is inspired by Goddess Sri Kalyan Padmavathi (Sri Kalyana Mahaganapathi Temple, Kalyan Nagar) who has in her vault; hundreds' of them from across the country! To bring in a single place; over 142 types of sarees is no small task! Kashmir to Kanyakumari; Assam to Kutch (why even Pakistan and Bangaladesh) Team Maanini has travelled by road (repeat by road) clocking over 60,000 kms personally meeting weavers of various places, home-staying with them to know the finer nuances of their art, cherry-picking each saree, detailing for urban customization…no mean a task!!
from the plain 'vanilla' collections many a saree outlet offers! Apart, from this, Maanini offers the customer; sarees for every 'ritual' (wedding / gruhapravesh / birthday etc.,) and arranges weavers to come with their wares directly to homes for any major occasion! Attempting to clothe our neighborhood with tradition and history, Maanini is foraying into Ethnic Jewelry (Urmika range), Dress Materials (Mytri range), Menswear (Manu range) and even a lingerie range very soon!! You should meet Team Maanini for once; at least to 'hear' and 'see' how each saree 'speaks' (for itself)!!
In lieu of special arrangement with each weaver-cluster, Maanini is able to bring to the table; directly from weaver to wearer with less additional costs and more reasonable prices! In the bargain; help the 'weaver' community across the country (CSR initiative) These rare and spectacular sarees made of natural fibres (cotton, silk, tussar, jute) are also customized based on different ages/profile based on the theme, color and fabric…that too to an individual level; which is diametrically 'different'
