When I wear a saree, I feel elegant, graceful, glamorous & sensuous all at once. That’s the beauty of the Saree! Six yards of Wonder. An outfit that suits every body type!
I don’t wear a saree regularly, but I love to drape the six yards of elegance on all special occasions including family functions, office meetings & events etc. While buying a saree, I prefer to go for handlooms. A hand-woven saree because that’s what makes it unique, earthy & timeless. I feel handlooms brings us closer to nature and our culture.
What is Handloom & Why choose them?
If some of you are wondering what handloom is and why I am so much GA Ga over them, let me share a little info about handlooms first. Handlooms are handwoven fabrics made on a weaving machine called a loom. I am sure you would have seen videos or pictures of weavers working on a loom. It’s called slow crafted because of utmost patience, artistry, and physical strength required to create these master pieces.
Reasons I prefer Handlooms fabrics/ Sarees are
By purchasing handlooms, we empower the local artisans and weavers to preserve the centuries old heritage of weaving at the same time creating sustainable livelihoods for the community.
Handloom fabrics are environmentally friendly as the process involves minimal use of machinery. Often natural fibres and dyes are used hence reducing the harmful impact of synthetic materials and chemicals on our environment.
Handlooms are much more comfortable and skin friendly then synthetic material.
How I came across Huts & Looms website?
Recently while looking for sarees for a wedding in the family, I came across the Huts & Looms website. Their simple yet elegant collection of Sarees caught my attention. I will also give the credit to the unique rustic photographs on their website. I loved the photographs; background and the way saree is carried by each model.

Review of Blush Pink Rose Tissue Saree by Huts & Looms
After going through their website thoroughly, I picked up the Blush Pink rose tissue Saree from their MAHTAB collection Although I also loved their Ice Gola collection, and it was difficult to choose between the two! But I ordered only one to see how the quality is.
Quality
Important thing about handlooms is their quality. I received the product within few days. The first thing I noticed after receiving is that it looked the same as shown in the pictures. The saree is light weight, yet it looks elegant with the shiny texture that it has. Its soft and feels good on skin.
Comfort
The saree feels very light and comfortable. Since its soft, the pleats sit properly and don’t move much. I dint had to worry about adjusting it all the time. The material is soft and breathable, making it very comfortable for all seasons.
Pricing
Their products are decently priced as compared to many other handloom websites. The blush pink tissue saree costed me INR 3415
Versatility
Since the Saree is light weight yet shimmery, it can be used at multiple occasions. Be it a summer picnic or a traditional function, its suitable for all occasions. I styled it for the cocktail party as well as traditional function, it looked stylish and elegant both ways. I received many complements too.
Personal Experience
When it comes to fashion, comfort is my priority. I love handlooms for the comfort and earthy vibes. I am loving the tissue saree from Huts and Looms because it’s of great quality, made from comfortable & breathable material and its stylish too. Pairing it with multiple accessories and creating multiple looks is easy.
