Est. 1890

Our Legacy

A saree house woven through five generations — in the heart of Nagpur.

The Story

Rooted in Nagpur

Wada opened its doors in 1890, in an era when a saree house was as much a community as it was a shop — a place where weavers, families and generations met over six yards of cloth.

Over the decades, we've held to a simple idea: a saree is not merchandise. It is the drape of a wedding, the memory of a mother, the confidence of a first festival. It deserves to be chosen with care.

Wada's story is best told in person. [Full founder details to be verified.]

Craft & Curation

Chosen, not stocked

Every saree at Wada is chosen by hand, from weavers we have known for decades. We travel to Kanchipuram, Varanasi, Paithan and Bengal — and we bring back only what we would drape ourselves.

Trends pass. A well-woven saree does not.
