FAQ

SónChiraiya is a label based in Kota, working closely with local weavers. The focus is on reviving the traditional craft of zari Kota handloom. Rooted in Indian textile traditions, the brand is committed to reinterpreting and continuing this legacy through its work.

Zari Kota is woven using real gold and silver, making it a highly skilled and time-intensive process that is now on the verge of decline. SónChiraiya works with master weavers who have spent years honing this craft to keep it alive. The fabric is exceptionally lightweight, with a natural sheen, and can be worn across seasons. It is known for its fine structure, vibrant detailing, and botanical motifs.

All SónChiraiya sarees are handcrafted, with every stage of the process done by hand. These are long-lasting pieces that can be preserved for generations when stored correctly. The use of real gold and silver also adds intrinsic material value, making each saree enduring not just in wear, but in composition.
