Verified buyerAn heirloom from the day it arrived.
"We commissioned the Krishna-Leela for my mother's seventieth. The pallu is so detailed I asked the atelier for a translation of the panels. Wrapped in muslin, finished with a handwritten card from Subir Da. I have not unwrapped a parcel like that in twenty years."

Verified buyerThe Baluchari that my daughter has already claimed.
"I draped it once for my anniversary and my daughter saw the pallu and said, 'this one comes to me'. Forty days of weaving — and three generations of women already counted into it."

Verified buyerWorth the wait.
"Six weeks from order to dispatch. The fall is heavier than I expected, which suits the pallu. A note for first-time Baluchari buyers — practice the pleats; the silk has a memory of its own."
