How a saree is made
From yarn to drape
Five stages, all under our own roof. A single Mangalagiri saree spends about 30 days between the yarn shed and your door.

Yarn
We start with fine cotton yarn, between 100s and 200s count, sorted by hand before it goes anywhere near a dye vat.
Natural dye
Hanks are dipped, wrung and aired until the colour settles — indigo, madder, turmeric and the greens in between.
Warp on the pit loom
The warp is stretched and threaded through the heddles of a pit loom, set into the floor so the weaver sits level with the cloth.
Weaving the Nizam border
The body stays plain. At the edge, zari carries tiny inverted checks and minute dots — the Nizam border — one pick at a time.
Finishing & quality check
Each saree is checked by hand for broken threads and even selvedges, then folded, tagged and packed for you.
Know your weave
What is a Mangalagiri saree?
A Mangalagiri saree is a handloom saree from Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, GI-tagged since 2013. It is woven from fine cotton on pit looms, with a plain body free of motifs and a zari Nizam border of tiny inverted checks. Mangalagiri pattu adds a silk warp for more sheen and weight.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 12 reviews
Rated 5 out of 5Soft after the first wash
The indigo is even and the border is finer than in photos. It softened nicely after one cold wash.

Crisp, light and the zari border photographed beautifully. My mother asked where it was from.

Exactly the green I wanted
I did a live video check first and the colour matched what I saw on the call. Draped well for a wedding.

Breathable in Pune heat and the dupatta border is lovely. Fit is true to size.

Good colour, slight starch
Came with a light starch, which washed out. The red is deep and did not bleed.
