The Journey of Indian Cotton Sarees to Sri Lanka: From Plant to the Wardrobe
Every exclusive piece of Rithihi’s collection holds a long and memorable adventure woven into it. It travels across local, regional, and international borders and endures a series of craftsmanship to be crafted into the version it is.
Craftsmanship and Weaving Traditions
The journey of an authentic Indian cotton saree often starts on a pit loom in a small village home. The texture, the rhythm of the weave, and the minute irregularities all reflect the human hand and heart behind each piece.
Indian cotton sarees in Sri Lanka are sourced from artisan clusters:
West Bengal, where the Jamdani weave brings poetic motifs into cotton.
Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, known for traditional checks, temple borders, and crisp, durable cottons.
Gujarat and Rajasthan, where natural dye techniques and Ajrakh prints lend earth tones and graphic rhythm to the cloth.
Each region adds a part of its essence to this exclusive piece of craftsmanship.
The textile work of the saree is nurtured within Sri Lanka, collaborating with iconic local designers like Asanaga. They develop handwoven sarees rooted in local sensibilities.
Rithihi has also worked with Kolam, creating naturally dyed sarees that honour ecological and artisanal values.
This vibrant intersection of local and regional craft traditions is central to our vision—one that honours quiet excellence, wherever it is found.

Why Choose Rithihi Cotton Sarees in Sri Lanka
Rithihi doesn’t treat sarees as everyday wear. We rather see them as a form of thoughtful dressing, something simple yet rooted in timelessness and journey.
Unlike fast fashion, cotton-infused sarees embody timelessness. Their fibres breathe with the body, their drape adapts to any setting, and their weaves age with dignity. But these don’t just come with any saree, but with the process of creation and the principles we abide by.
We highly prioritise handwoven cottons from artisan communities across India, and most of our collection reflects that dedication to craft.
We make sure these pieces of art are matched fairly to the work put into them. No hidden costs, just immense craft backed by honorable cotton saree prices in Sri Lanka.
Even in these cases, we seek out pieces that preserve some form of handcraft such as hand printing, dyeing, or artisanal finishing.
We maintain long-standing relationships with our suppliers, many of whom we’ve known and trusted for years. Each piece is selected with care—not just for its weave, but for the story, texture, and feeling it brings.
