A new chapter begins

 

Welcome to Drape & Details: A Fabric Nest Journal

As a homegrown brand owner who works closely with weavers across India, I’ve been blessed to witness the beauty, depth, and intricacy of handwoven sarees from up close. Over the years, I’ve gathered small yet meaningful insights into the world of weaves — the stories, the techniques, the traditions, and the people behind them.

I’m not an expert. I don’t claim to be one either. But what I share here will come from experience — from countless conversations with weavers, from touching the yarns before they become sarees, from curating every piece with care, and from answering endless questions from curious, conscious customers.

So what can you expect from this journal?

👉Bite-sized knowledge about weaves and weaving techniques

👉Glimpses into the history and evolution of regional textiles

👉An honest take on the present scenario of the handloom industry

👉Practical insights to help you understand what you’re buying

👉 Not just my voice ...we’ll also feature guest insights from handloom connoisseurs to enrich our weave stories.

This isn’t an encyclopaedia. This is a ready reckoner, written in simple words, for those who love their sarees and want to know them better.

Because when you know your weave, you cherish it even more. 🌿

At Fabric Nest, we source directly from weavers — no resellers or middlemen. We believe in slow fashion, handpicked sarees in small batches, and transparent service from curation to dispatch.

And this blog is just another way of staying true to that promise — keeping you informed, inspired, and connected with every drape you choose from us.

So here’s to weaving stories, not just threads.

Welcome to Drape & Details.

Let’s make conscious choices together — informed, inspired, and intentional
