Surat has evolved into India’s saree manufacturing capital through decades of expertise, scale, speed, and a highly connected textile ecosystem. From weaving and dyeing to embroidery, printing, and finishing, the city brings every stage of saree production together, enabling manufacturers to deliver quality, variety, and competitive pricing at scale.

Today, retailers and buyers across India turn to Surat for its skilled artisans, wide design variety, faster production turnaround, and strong manufacturing infrastructure. But being a premium saree manufacturer takes more than scale—it requires fabric integrity, original designs, consistent embroidery and finishing, quality control, and the ability to maintain these standards across thousands of pieces.

With Kimora manufacturing premium sarees in Surat since 2013, this story offers a closer look at what makes Surat a powerhouse of saree manufacturing and why its ecosystem continues to shape the Indian saree industry.

Five sarees, five entirely different festive moods  and not one of them asks you to sacrifice comfort for the glow-up. That's the whole point of dressing festive in 2026: lightweight sarees, breathable fabric , and silhouettes that move with you from the puja room to the dance floor without a single safety-pin emergency. Whether you gravitate toward the sophistication of bandhani, the drama of golden tissue silk, or the softness of a pastel ombré, one thing stays constant :  a well-chosen saree is still Indian ethnic wear's most effortless glow-up.

The first Calico fashion show of 1958 marked a pivotal moment in Indian fashion history, blending art, culture, and fashion in a groundbreaking event. Bhanu Athaiya, invited by Ebrahim Alkazi, showcased her creations that celebrated India's rich textile heritage. This event set the stage for Indian fashion's global recognition, with Bhanu's designs making a lasting impact. Her influence extended internationally with an illustrated talk and costume display at New York's Cooper Hewitt Museum. At Kimora, we continue to draw inspiration from these legendary figures, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity in every design we craft.
