From Mysore to Bangalore — The Journey of a Saree
Karnataka's Silk Story Karnataka is the heart of India's silk industry, producing the vast majority of the nation's silk. The journey of a saree from a cocoon in Mysore to a cherished possession in a Bangalore wardrobe is a story of heritage, art, and commerce. Mysore Crepe, with its GI tag, represents the pinnacle of this craft. For the modern, tech-savvy woman in Bangalore, this saree is not just a garment; it's a piece of her home state's legacy.
Challenges in Sourcing Locally
-
The Middleman Maze: The journey from weaver to customer is often convoluted, passing through multiple middlemen, which inflates the price and dilutes the connection to the artisan.
-
The "Tourist Trap": Many Bangaloreans and tourists find that "authentic" silk shops are often overpriced traps, and they are unsure where to find genuine quality.
-
Online vs. Offline: The Bangalore customer is busy. She values the convenience of online shopping (Turaja.com) but fears that what she sees online won't match the "touch-and-feel" quality of a real saree.
-
Losing the Story: Mass production has severed the link between the product and its origin. The story of the weaver and the craft is lost.
