Kani Sarees are among the most treasured textiles to emerge from India. Known for their unmatched craftsmanship, delicate patterns, and deep cultural roots, these sarees reflect the soul of Kashmir’s artistic tradition.
At Livalya, we are proud to bring this legacy to New York—offering an exclusive collection of authentic Kani Sarees that blend timeless elegance with meaningful heritage.
What Makes Kani Sarees Unique
Originating from the Kanihama region of Kashmir, Kani sarees are woven using a centuries-old technique where threads are interlaced on a wooden loom using small bobbins called kanis. The process is slow, intricate, and completely done by hand, often taking several months to complete a single saree.
These sarees feature stunning motifs such as:
Delicate florals
Chinar leaf designs
Nature-inspired patterns
Each design element carries deep cultural significance and artistic charm.
Handwoven Excellence – Now Available in the U.S.
We are honored to work directly with skilled artisans like Majid Qazi and Iqbal Bhat from Kanihama, Kashmir. These weavers have been part of the Livalya family for over 7 years, helping us create masterpieces that are now appreciated across the U.S.
With over 500 Kani sarees shipped nationwide, Livalya is proud to be one of the few brands preserving and promoting this traditional art form on an international platform.
