Urban Silks at Naachiyars are for those who want silk without the occasion. Not every saree needs a wedding or a festival to justify it. The 32 sarees in this collection sit within the Exclusives range and are built around four fabric types that share a common quality: they look considered without looking ceremonial, and they wear comfortably enough for regular use.
The Malai Semi Silk sarees form the core of the collection, with digital floral prints, paisley designs, Printed Paradise scenes and Munga texture leaf prints on a smooth semi-silk base. The Munga sarees carry a natural, slightly textured quality on the fabric surface that gives them a different visual character from the smoother floral print sarees. Colours in the Malai range include wine purple, light green, grey, rich grey, multi colour, wonder blue and dark sandal.
The Semi Metalic Tissue Silk sarees represent the most festive tier of the collection. The tissue weave gives the fabric a natural shimmer across the entire body, and the floral digital prints on this surface catch light in a way that a matte fabric cannot. These sarees feature golden or contrast zari borders in orange, blue, green, wine berry and light pink colour combinations, making them a natural fit for evening occasions, receptions and celebrations where visual presence matters without requiring a heavy traditional silk.
The Bandhej Silk sarees take a different approach entirely, with Bandhej tie-dye style prints across the silk body and clean zari borders. Available in pink, blue, black, sandal and green, these sarees have the distinctive circular and geometric resist-dye patterning associated with Bandhej textile tradition applied digitally to a silk base, giving them a vibrant quality that is distinctive within the collection.
The Semi Tussar Silk sarees complete the range with Leheriya inspired stripe bodies with Kalamkari pallus and butta designs with contrast zari border pallus, offering a more heritage-rooted option within the same urban styling context.
