The true luxuriance of silk unveiled
For the discerning Sri Lankan saree wearer, a silk saree is closely associated with a grand social engagement where attention to attire is of prime importance, which also brings along with it the perfect opportunity to make a compelling statement about one’s individuality through fashion.
As fabrication by silk is treated as the ultimate manifestation of a saree, allow us to be a bit informative about our own handwoven range as possibly being the crowning offering of silk sarees in Sri Lanka.
Material refinement, handwoven for substance
All our silk sarees are fashioned out of either mulberry, tussar or muga silks, materials that are considered to be among the most exquisite in the world. Each is chosen for their inherent qualities in making the final output stand out incomparably. For instance, mulberry, the most popular form of silk, is durable, soft to the touch and is considered to offer the best quality. Tussar silks are more textured and naturally gold in colour. Muga silks on the other hand, also gold in colour, is a material that was preferred above all else by Indian royalty.
But, the silk itself doesn’t define an exemplary status for a saree. This outcome is achieved by the quality or rarity of the weave and the decorative work it highlights. Our efforts and resolve of decades, to curate an unmatched selection of silk sarees in Sri Lanka, has brought to local audiences the greater wealth of traditional Indian styles as well as those of South-east Asian origin, presented in a degree of artisanal grandeur never seen before.

Colourful, dazzling impressions of rich deportment are expected to be lavishly dispensed at weddings, milestone celebrations or at any event that calls for a little, extra formality and glamour, making them ideal occasions for unveiling the loveliness of Rithihi silk sarees in Sri Lanka. While the superficial purpose might be to impress, the opportunity alone, of dressing up in an exquisite silk saree carrying with the essence of centuries-old tradition and artisanship, is a celebration reserved only for your pleasure.
