The Ilkal saree, distinguished by its unique Kondi technique—where the body warp is seamlessly joined with the pallu warp—is a testament to the skill of North Karnataka's weavers.

For decades, these artisans have been separated from their customers by layers of middlemen. The weavers earn a fraction of what the saree is sold for in urban boutiques.

Nekara Vastra (ನೇಕಾರ ವಸ್ತ್ರ) was founded with a simple premise: what if you could buy directly from the artisan?

We provide the platform, the weavers provide their craft. With our 75% direct payment promise, you aren't just buying a piece of clothing; you are sustaining a heritage.
