About us
Neela by Anu Vardhan is a celebration of handloom, memory, and quiet luxury.
Founded by acclaimed costume designer Anu Vardhan and named after her grandmother, Neela, the brand brings together a deep love for Indian textiles and a contemporary design sensibility. Every saree is thoughtfully curated in collaboration with weaving communities and handloom clusters across South India, with a focus on texture, craftsmanship, and timelessness.
At Neela, we believe a saree is more than clothing. It carries history, emotion, and the touch of the hands that made it. Our collections are rooted in tradition but designed for the modern woman — understated, effortless, and enduring.
We work in small quantities, choosing quality over excess and preserving the beauty of slow craft. From silk-cottons to handwoven classics, each piece is selected for its character, feel, and quiet elegance.
