Our products are inspired by real people and places and carry a lot of stories with them. What we produce and wear tells a story about ourselves and our environments, and knowing how our clothing is made more significant connects us to the world around us. We promise to tell you everything we can about our products. Kalika is all about an old-world charm that continues to fascinate us with its colours, designs and luxurious quality. The sari also carries the story of a weaving couple who love weaving simple old-school designs on their three-shuttle loom together. When we proposed the design to them they were delighted to see something new that also reminded them of the saris they wove 20-30 years ago as a young couple.

Hand-crafted products have true personality; they express character, skill and culture. Who designed the product? Was there an inspiration behind the design? How do you know that the garment was made with love? How would you know if those who made them were healthy, motivated, and happy artisans? The only way is to observe and appreciate the process. We allow the process to be seen there by empowering the patron to see the impact they yield on the process.

Who Made My Clothes? / Are They Safe? / Are They Empowered? / Can They Afford To Live dignified lives? / Are They Free?
Parvai answers these critical questions regarding the people who work on our products. We love the people who make our products and do not enslave, endanger, exploit, overwork, harass, abuse or discriminate. We believe in giving a face to all who uphold and uplift the world of craft and human heritage. At Parvai, the patron meets the maker.

Parvai products have the power and ability to motivate and encourage both artisans and patrons to think, ask questions, seek answers, build ethical practices and ultimately evolve themselves and the communities they live in to be advocates of change for social change comes through people and their unique perspectives and creative ideas. Our Kanchipuram sarees are much more than motifs and colour combinations. Our humble attempt is to open your mind to the value of silk, the beauty of constructing a comfortably luxurious heavier ply and appreciate the technical nuances of a highly evolved art form.
