Every Indian woman has at least one vivid memory of playing dress-up in her mother’s sarees

Every Indian woman has at least one vivid memory of playing dress-up in her mother’s sarees. Twirling in front of the mirror, trying to drape that oversized pallu, stepping into her sandals - it wasn’t just about fashion. It was about stepping into her world.
This Mother’s Day, we’re opening up that precious wardrobe again - not just to borrow a saree, but to honour the style that raised us.

1. The Original Style Icon

Before Instagram influencers and Pinterest boards, there was Maa.

She knew how to pair a crisp cotton saree with a bindi that matched just right. How to roll up her sleeves during work, yet walk into a wedding draped in silk like a queen. Her sense of fashion wasn’t about trends - it was about comfort, grace, confidence and heritage.

“She didn’t just wear a saree - she wore it like a second skin.”

2. When Her Wardrobe Became Our Treasure Chest

Remember sneaking into her closet, running your fingers through rows of silks, cottons, and chiffons?
That red Banarasi from her wedding.
The lightweight Kosa saree she wore to your parent-teacher meeting.
That faded floral saree she wore while making Sunday breakfast.
Her sarees weren’t just outfits - they were memories, wrapped in nine yards.

3. Inheriting More Than Fabric

As we grow older, we begin to appreciate not just the beauty of those pieces, but their meaning.
Now, when we choose a saree, we look for the same things she did - quality over trend, comfort over clutter, and stories over labels. Our style may be modern, but its soul is entirely hers.

Maybe that’s why Banarasi saree still feels so special - it’s not just about the silk, it’s about the legacy.

4. This Mother’s Day: Gifting Her What She Once Gave Us

This year, let’s return the favor.
Gift her a saree that reflects who she is today - elegant, grounded, and radiant.

Maybe a handwoven Kosa silk saree for her morning yoga sessions.
Or a regal Banarasi saree for family gatherings she anchors with warmth and poise.
Or simply something light, soft, and easy handblock saree, like the love she always wraps us in.

Basically:

Style doesn’t skip generations. It’s passed down - pleat by pleat, fold by fold.
From the way she draped her saree to the way she held our hand - everything about her has shaped who we are.

This Mother’s Day, open that saree closet again - not to borrow, but to gift back.
To the woman who taught you everything, give something that holds every thread of that love.
