Brand Story

Kumaran Silks

An abode of exquisite silk sarees

As a nostalgic part of Chennai since 1955, Kumaran Silks enwraps you in a luxurious world of silks and fashion. 

The Kumaran Silks Family 

Hailing from a traditional silk weaving community in Kanchipuram, The hearts and minds of the Kumaran silks family are beautifully entwined in the heritage-rich silks sarees they grew up with and come to love.

With a rich 100-year-old legacy driving their artistic aspirations, they have inherited exceptional knowledge in silks. They are adept in the skills and process to create silk masterpieces with spellbinding workmanship and artistic finesse, to pay an ode to their enriching ancestry. 

Our story began in 1955... 

Kumaran silks was started as a small venture by the enterprising father-son duo Shri P.C. Chengalvaraya Chettiar and Shri P.C. Ramamurthy.

Their passion for silks and the personalized customer service soon established Kumaran Silks as a go-to place for pure silk sarees straight from the weavers. The word spread, and as more and more customers visited us, we took pains to understand their needs and preferences.

This encouraged us to bring out innovations in silk sarees to make saree connoisseurs super happy. However, our ultimate aim was to make even the people who consider sarees as old fashioned, to experience the glorious magic of silk sarees.

Our magnificent designs 

We launched the brand 'Amrithavarshini'...sarees crafted with a perfect blend of cotton and silk. Appealing with artistic designs and sleek zari work, it was a big hit with womenfolk as these versatile weaves were perfect for casual and formal moments.
