Sarees

Sarees at Vpnam run to 549 live designs once the Festive, Designer and Ready-to-Wear collections are counted in, priced from ₹1,270 to ₹11,599. The 300 in the main saree run sit around ₹2,793 in the middle. Silk is named on 153 listings, though 53 of those are satin silk and 23 poly silk; georgette on 61 and chiffon on 42, with smaller runs in cotton, crepe, organza, net, lycra and tissue. Forty-three listings give the fabric width as 44 inches and 44 give a 0.80 metre blouse piece; 27 arrive with a stitched blouse. This is the widest category on the site, so the fabric guide and price bands below are the quickest way to cut it down to a shortlist.

What kinds of saree does Vpnam actually stock?

Across the 300 designs in the main saree run, 68 listings name embroidery or thread work, 40 name handwork, 38 name sequin work, seven are woven jacquard and 13 name a digital print. Nine carry Khatli work, a hook-and-frame stitch worked from the reverse of the cloth so the front shows an unbroken run of thread or bead. Silk is an umbrella here: the word appears on 153 listings, of which 53 are satin silk and 23 poly silk. Georgette appears on 61 and chiffon on 42. That spread is why fabric, rather than colour, is the fastest filter to reach on this page.

Which saree fabric should you pick?

Fabric settles three things at once: how the saree falls, how warm it feels through a long function, and how many pleats it will hold without slipping. The fabrics below are the ones named most often across this category.

What should a saree cost, and what changes as the price rises?

Price in this category tracks the amount of hand labour on the cloth more than anything else. These are the five bands those 300 designs fall into, and what the listings in each band actually name.

Is the blouse included, and is it stitched?

Most designs here come with a blouse piece rather than a finished blouse. Fifty-six listings state a package of one saree and one blouse, 44 give the blouse piece as 0.80 metre, and 43 state the saree at 5.5 metres with a 0.80 metre blouse. Twenty-seven listings say the blouse is stitched, and every one of those is priced above ₹4,500. Forty-three give the fabric width as 44 inches, which is the number your tailor will ask for if the sleeve is being cut fuller.

Which Vpnam category should you open next?

This page holds the general range. Four narrower pages carry stock chosen for a specific job, and each one filters faster than scrolling the full run.

• Festive Sarees for the Navratri-to-Diwali stretch, where all 134 listings carry both a fabric and a work type.
• Designer Sarees when the surface work matters more than the base cloth.
• Ready-to-Wear Sarees if you want the pleats already set and a stitched blouse in the box.
• Lehengas and Lehenga Style Sarees for wedding functions where a skirt silhouette suits better than a drape.

How should a saree be washed and stored?

Sixty-nine listings in this category state one care line and only one: dry clean only. Thirty-two carry a colour note saying slight variation may occur due to lighting, flash and screen settings, which is worth reading before you match a saree to jewellery you already own. For storage, refold along a different line every few months so the crease never sets in the same place, and keep worked sarees in cotton rather than plastic so the thread can breathe.
