Timeless Kanjivaram saris make a comeback
Post
|May 07, 2025
WITH the flood of public holidays behind us, it is back to full-on work mode.
The welcome break allowed me to spend more time on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, and I came across posts on many Indian weddings. What took me by surprise was the resurgence of South Indian silk saris, especially Kanjivaram saris, making a larger presence at South African weddings.
I recall that about a decade ago, Kanjivaram saris faded from the wedding scene as Swarovski stone-studded saris began trending. Some cheaper versions were so rich with dazzling sequins and mirrors that to really appreciate the design you had to reach for the sunglasses.
Now before I get bashed for being a hater, I must submit that I am a "pukka" South Indian "ponnu" who, thanks to my parents' great taste and initial investment in my South Indian wardrobe, saw me turning into a full-on connoisseur of silk saris.
