Saree Makeover Service
Don’t let your mom’s old saree get dusty - I can revamp it using block printing and creative touches, so it feels brand new but keeps the memories. Maja ide (it's really fun) to see these old sarees turned into something you’d actually wear today.

My Story
I’m Sudha, and manSi is my heart. Started with kids’ art classes, now it’s all about celebrating women. My daughter and I roam all over India, picking sarees and stories, meeting weavers, sharing giggles. This isn’t just shopping, it’s family. When you send me photos in your manSi outfit, I feel like I’m part of your celebration. Every piece here is chosen with love, and I hope you feel that too.
