Curated Handloom Sarees
Mahitha Prasad
I personally select limited edition handloom sarees from weavers across India and offer them only a few times a year at my studio, so each piece is unique and not available elsewhere.

About Curated Handloom Sarees
Why My Sarees Feel Special
For me, sarees are more than just clothes - each one has its own katha (story). I pick every piece with the same care as my blouses, making sure it brings together tradition and a bit of a personal touch. My aim is that when you wear one, you feel like you’re carrying a memory, not just fabric.
What to Expect at The Six Yard Project
I don’t keep these sarees out all the time. Instead, I do “The Six Yard Project” a few times a year at my Bengaluru studio. It’s a 3-day event where you can see, feel, and shop my handpicked Indian saree collection. Most of what you’ll find is limited edition handloom sarees - once a piece is gone, that’s it. A lot of my clients love pairing these with my custom blouses.
Sourcing & Selection
I travel across India meeting weavers myself, so every saree is authentic and you get to see the real work of different regions. Expect Banarasis, Kancheevarams, Paithanis, Pochampallys, Ikkats, Venkatagiris, Kotas, Mysore Silks and more. Each saree is chosen to be a standout, one-of-a-kind silk saree or a classic beauty, depending on what you vibe with.
If you want sarees that actually mean something, and not just another piece from a rack, watch out for my next showcase.

My Story
Hi, we’re Blouse House. For us, every blouse or saree is not just a piece of cloth – it’s a katha (story). We love mixing culture, tradition, and a pinch of modern style. Our Katha Collection is all about emotions stitched into each thread. Handlooms are close to our heart too, so with The Six Yard Project, we bring you sarees straight from the weavers. We’re here to turn your big moments into heirlooms.
My Work
Custom Blouses & Sarees - We design hand-embroidered blouses for weddings, muhurthams, and special occasions. Saree curation is part of our Six Yard Project.
Storytelling Through Embroidery - Each piece has a katha - maybe Radha-Krishna motif, signature zardosi, or pearl work, blending tradition with a modern twist.
Collaborative Design - We work with you, appointment only, to create something royal, bold, and personal for your big day.
Heirloom Pieces - More than a blouse - it’s a keepsake, crafted to be unforgettable and cherished for years.
