Handblock Ajrakh, GI-tagged Sungudi, Kerala Kasavu — every thread tells a story of craft passed down through generations.
Our collection
From Kutch to Kerala, Rajasthan to Telangana — sarees, suit sets, fabrics and more, each piece personally chosen for its authenticity, beauty, and craft lineage.
Our heritage
Founded in Tripunithura — the erstwhile cultural capital of the Cochin Kingdom, steps from the Sree Poornathrayeesa Temple — Malathi Silks has been a living repository of India's finest textile traditions for over four decades.
From Rajasthan's Ajrakh workshops to Tamil Nadu's Sungudi weavers and Kerala's Kasavu artisans, every piece we carry bears the fingerprint of a master craftsperson.
Every piece I bring to you has been held in my hands first — and asked one simple question: is this beautiful enough to last a lifetime?
— Malathi
Our craft philosophy
Four promises that guide every piece we carry — from the artisan's workshop to your hands.
We travel to the source — Ajrakh printers in Kutch, Sungudi weavers in Madurai, Kasavu craftspeople in Kerala. Every piece begins where it is made.
Every design is personally selected by Malathi. No intermediaries, no bulk orders — only what passes her exacting eye for quality, colour, and character.
We carry only GI-certified and documented Indian crafts. Every heritage claim is verified at the source — never assumed, never unverified.
Handblock over digital. Natural dyes over chemical. Handloom over powerloom. We choose the slower, truer path — and always will.

What our customers say
The Ajrakh saree I ordered is absolutely stunning. The colours are so vibrant and the fabric feels luxurious. Malathi Silks really delivers on quality.
I visited the store during Onam and it felt like stepping into a textile museum. Every piece tells a story. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable too.
The Modal Silk suit set is my new favourite. So comfortable, so elegant — and I love knowing it was crafted by real artisans using traditional techniques.
Ordered a Kasavu saree for my daughter's wedding. It arrived beautifully packaged and the weave was exquisite. Guests kept asking where it was from all evening.
The Bandhani dupatta I picked up is unlike anything I've seen in Bangalore. Real resist-dye work, not printed. You can feel the difference instantly.
Placed an order online and was nervous about buying textiles without touching them. But the fabric descriptions were so accurate — I wasn't disappointed at all.
Bought a Kerala mundu set for my father. He refused to take it off. Said it reminded him of pieces from forty years ago. That says everything.
