We work directly with weavers and artisans from Kanchipuram, Chettinad, Banaras, Andhra Pradesh, Mangalgiri, Chanderi, and Madurai to bring you authentic regional weaves and original designs.

Which types of sarees are available at Studio Virupa?

Do you offer customisation on sarees and blouses?

Yes - blouse stitching, length adjustments, and minor design customisations are available on most pieces. After placing your order, contact us via WhatsApp with your measurements and customisation requirements. Most customisations add 5-7 days to dispatch time.

What is the difference between mom-daughter combo and matching outfits?

Our mom-and-daughter combo pieces are designed and woven as coordinated sets - the mother's saree and daughter's frock or half saree share the same fabric story, motifs, or colour palette. Matching outfits are perfectly identical pieces in mother-and-daughter sizes. Both are popular for Onam, family weddings, and milestone photoshoots.

How long does shipping take and is it free?

Shipping is free pan-India on all orders. Ready-stock items dispatch same-day if ordered before 3 PM and typically arrive in 3-5 business days. Customised pieces take 5-10 days for dispatch. Worldwide shipping is available - international orders take 7-14 business days depending on destination.

Are Studio Virupa sarees and blouses authentic and original?

Yes. Every saree is sourced directly from artisan clusters and handloom centres - no machine-printed imitations. Pen Kalamkari pieces come from Srikalahasti artisans, Kanjivaram from Kanchipuram weavers, Banarasi from Varanasi looms. Each piece carries the slight irregularities of handcraft, which confirm authenticity.
