70 Years of
Timeless Kanchipuram
Silk Heritage

For over seven decades, Sri Kumaran Stores has been more than a saree destination. It has been a part of family traditions, weddings, celebrations, and memories woven across generations.

Rooted in the rich weaving heritage of Kanchipuram, our journey began in 1955 with a humble 100-square-foot store in Chennai, founded by Shri P.C. Chengalvaraya Chettiyar — a visionary weaver determined to bring authentic Kanchipuram silk sarees directly to people with uncompromising quality and craftsmanship. (Sri Kumaran Stores)

At a time when opportunities were limited and resources were scarce, silk weaving was not merely a profession for our family — it was heritage passed down through generations. Every saree carried the artistry, precision, and soul of skilled weaving traditions from Kanchipuram. (Sri Kumaran Stores)

From selling sarees on bicycles across Chennai to carrying stock by hand to save costs, every step of the journey was driven by dedication and belief. Slowly, Sri Kumaran Stores became known for authentic silk sarees, superior blouse materials, and heartfelt customer service.

What started as a small saree and blouse store soon transformed into one of Chennai’s most loved destinations for:

Kanchipuram Silk Sarees

Bridal Silk Sarees

Pure Zari Sarees

Handwoven Sarees

Wedding Collections

Traditional Silk Drapes

Over the decades, generations of families began returning to Sri Kumaran Stores for their most cherished occasions.

At Sri Kumaran Stores, every saree is more than fabric.

Each Kanchipuram silk saree is a celebration of:

• Traditional handloom weaving

From intricate korvai borders to elaborate bridal designs, our sarees reflect the mastery of generational weavers who have dedicated their lives to preserving India’s textile heritage.
