Kanakavalli puts up silk expo at Urban Spice Gallery in Madurai
The HinduKanakavalli is back in town with an exhibition of its bridal, heirloom, all-day drapes, and embellished Kanjivarams. “We received excellent response when we were here in March,” says Ganesh Shanmugam, the expo manager, “And Madurai market is growing for us.” Every woman perhaps has a Kanjivaram in her wardrobe as part of her trousseau or one handed down by her mother or paati. At Urban Spice Gallery, where the saris are neatly stacked in transparent covers and opened only when you mention your requirement such as budget and the occasion, I find it difficult to take my eyes off the most expensive range under the Party Wear section. The series comprises beautifully embellished heirloom Kanjivarams with horizontal stripes in golden zari focussing on the weaves and patterns of the past.
