At Karunya Sarees, every thread tells a story — a story woven with tradition, passion, and craftsmanship. We pride ourselves on offering high-quality sarees that are not only visually stunning but also rooted in India’s rich textile heritage. Today, we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how we source our sarees and bring the magic of India’s looms to your wardrobe in the UK.
1. Kanchipuram – Where Heritage Meets Elegance
Our saree journey begins in Kanchipuram (Kanjivaram), Tamil Nadu, a town renowned for its traditional weaving legacy. At Karunya, we offer two types of Kanchipuram-inspired sarees:
-
Semi-Kanchi sarees – Affordable, lightweight versions crafted using blended or soft silk with elegant zari borders.
-
Pure Kanchipuram silk sarees – Reserved exclusively for our wedding and bridal collection, made using genuine mulberry silk and authentic zari work.
Whether you’re dressing for a simple function or a grand wedding, our Kanchi sarees embody timeless beauty and class.
2. Surat – The Heart of Designer & Daily Wear Sarees
We source a wide range of modern, designer sarees from Surat, Gujarat — a city that defines versatility in fabric. From georgette, chiffon, and satin to crepe and shimmer sarees, Surat gives us the flexibility to bring contemporary and festive looks at affordable prices.
Customer favourites: Sequins sarees, party-wear sarees, casual printed styles, and ready-to-wear sarees.
3. Banaras (Varanasi) – Royalty in Every Thread
From the sacred city of Varanasi, we bring you the timeless beauty of Banarasi sarees. These pieces feature intricate zari work, brocade patterns, and traditional Indian motifs, making them ideal for weddings, religious ceremonies, and special occasions.
Each Banarasi saree at Karunya is a regal masterpiece — woven to perfection by skilled artisans.
4. Kolkata – Elegance in Cotton & Jamdani
Our selection from Kolkata, West Bengal includes the finest Tant, Jamdani, and soft cotton sarees, known for their lightness and comfort. These sarees are a blend of tradition and subtle beauty, suitable for daily wear, office use, and graceful cultural events.
5. Tamil Nadu – Blending Tradition with Modern Touches
Tamil Nadu offers more than just Kanchipuram. We also source:
-
cotton sarees from Coimbatore and Madurai

Soft silk sarees from Salem — known for their smooth texture and lustrous appeal
-
Synthetic sarees for everyday wear at great value

Maheshwari-style silk sarees and silk-cotton blends from across South India

6. The Grace of Kerala Sarees
Rooted in the cultural essence of God’s Own Country, Kerala sarees—especially the traditional Kasavu—carry a timeless elegance. Woven in soft, breathable cotton with golden zari borders, these sarees reflect simplicity, grace, and tradition. Worn during festivals like Onam and Vishu or on special occasions, they stand as a symbol of heritage and pride. At Karunya Sarees, we bring you authentic Kerala sarees that celebrate the artistry of local weavers, blending tradition with contemporary charm.
7. Khadi Sarees – Woven with Freedom & Soul
We are proud to showcase Khadi sarees, handspan and handwoven fabrics that echo India’s freedom movement and Gandhian values. Made from natural fibers, Khadi sarees are breathable, sustainable, and elegant — ideal for conscious fashion lovers. Whether it’s a formal occasion or a minimalist ethnic look, our Khadi sarees bring understated grace with a meaningful legacy.
