Turn Loom Raider

Thursday, 02 September 2010 18:36

What: Hand woven textiles at Vaya, Jeevan Kiran, SV Road, Bandra (W), call 26436556, start at Rs 1,800.

Why: With weavers from all over India – Benares, Pune, Hyderabad - spooling in to fill its pretty block printed cabinets, Vaya is a far cry from your regular fabric store. Fruit of the loom include a startling red Maheshwari saris, three-hued woolen scarf and a Rs 4-lakh silver-gold Upada.

When: Opens today, zari up and get there!

i was there on the opening day after i read abt it on bpb, and kirron kher was there at the shop. i figured out then that this is where she buys all her beautiful sarees from, which have been every woman's envy ever since we started seeing her more frequently on telly. glad to finally know the secret. daughters, i'd say surprise your mom with a gift from vaya

anybody looking to make their daughter's trousseau, this is the perfect place to get a piece of heritage and tradition. Vaya has the most unbelievable and trendy Benarasis, Kanjeevarams, Uppadas, Maheshwaris, Chanderis Kalamkaris and Tussars .. sarees which even the young 25 year-olds can wear today. i love the place.

i went to the store and was most amazed to see the rich handicrafts and textiles that our country has, which have sadly been overshadowed by the bling culture that is so prevalent in today's fashion. you need more stores like this to spread the good work about our weavers. Cheers to Vaya!
