The off-white traditional Kerala handloom material with golden or bright-coloured borders probably harks back to a time before the cloth dying industry was brought to the state in the early 19th century, by the Saraswad Brahmins from the Konkan region.

This Kerala sari spells simple elegance and was a hot favourite among even Bollywood fashionistas who want to stand out with an understated style.
