Saree Fabrics: The Beginning of the Story
Rithihi never saw saree fabrics as just fabric. Our exclusive fabrics are the sweet beginning of a glamorous story. This story isn’t just one’s, but of every woman who chose to embody the beauty and tradition of Rithihi’s sarees.
Here’s the beginning of her story, through the eyes of Rithihi.
The Birth of a Fabric
Saree fabrics are born through nature. Most of Rithihi’s silk saree fabrics start their journey at the silkworm farms scattered across India. The silkworm is fed with fresh mulberry leaves and raised in the best environments across farms in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu in order to extract the finest quality silk cocoons.
The journey of cotton saree fabrics at Rithihi begins at the highest-quality cotton farms in West Bengal and Rajasthan, India. Farmers carefully hand-pluck the softest cotton tufts from the plant, ensuring only the best arrives as your iconic fabrics.
Weaves of Story and Substance
Each piece of our fabrics carries a history of hands, dyes, and rhythms that shape it into being—before it ever finds form as a saree, blouse, or garment.
The final chapter of the fabric begins as it embodies the story and substance. The skilled silk weavers from the city of Varanasi carefully transform the harvested silk fibers into meaningful stories of art, tradition, and passion. This city is known for owning a long-standing tradition of silk weaving, with generational weavers passing down their precious talent for centuries.
The handpicked cotton fibers undergo the same process of embodiment, where the fibers are spun into threads of tradition, dyed with the colors of culture, and woven into a fine canvas of craft.
At the end, Rithihi guides a piece of nature into an embodiment of culture and tradition. But as every end of a story is the beginning of another. These pieces stay as unwritten stories that await the shape and imagination of their wearer.
Here are some of our iconic pieces of fabric at Rithihi:
The Radiance of Benaras Brocade Silk
The Benaras Brocade Silk is a celebration of elegance in restraint. What makes it special is its adaptability; it can hold its own as a full saree blouse, shine as a dress, or lend subtle sophistication to a skirt or pair of trousers. The brocade weave catches light with quiet opulence, ensuring that even in its simplicity, it never feels ordinary.
From single flower fabrics to crowded motifs, Benaras silk saree fabrics breathe unmistakable richness through every movement.
The Earthy Calm of Nilambari Cotton
If Benaras brocade sings of refinement, Nilambari Cotton whispers of grounded elegance. Hand block printed in the Bagru village of Rajasthan, it is a textile born of earth—dyed with natural hues, patterned with blocks carved by artisans, and woven into cotton that feels familiar yet quietly rare.
Nilambari Cotton carries versatility in its very weave. As a blouse or kurta, it feels like everyday ease elevated. As homeware, it transforms into an object of comfort with artisanal dignity, whether in a cushion cover or table setting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can saree fabrics be used for outfits other than sarees?
Yes, our fabrics are incredibly versatile. Traditionally made for sarees, they can be seamlessly tailored into blouses, dresses, tunics, skirts, pants, and even jackets.
Are these fabrics made for daily wear?
Some are and some are not. Cotton-based fabrics like Nilambari are lightweight, breathable, and suitable for daily wear. Options like brocade fabrics are much stronger, heavier, and are better for occasion wear.
Can I mix different fabrics in one outfit?
Absolutely. Many designers and customers combine cotton with silk brocade or pair plain weaves with more decorative fabrics to create contrast. Consider things like comfort and feel are matched, too.
Do these fabrics need special preparation before stitching?
Natural fibers like cotton often need gentle pre-washing to release excess dye and settle the weave. Silk fabrics generally do not shrink, but should be handled with care before tailoring.
Can saree fabrics be used for men’s clothing?
Yes. While traditionally associated with women’s wear, many of these fabrics can be tailored into men’s kurtas, waistcoats, or stoles. Cotton weaves, in particular, adapt well to unisex designs.
What is the average price of saree fabrics in Sri Lanka?
Our prices start from Rs. 2000 and upwards. Prices vary by weave and origin, but every fabric reflects premium quality and the heritage it carries.
