Wrapped in Memories – A Cotton Saree That Feels Like Home

Living in Manchester, far from my roots in Thrissur, Onam always hits differently. Last year, I stumbled upon a handwoven Kerala cotton saree on Dakshin Vastram. The moment I wore it, the soft white fabric with that golden border didn’t just wrap around me—it wrapped me in memories. Of swinging on the oonjal, of helping Amma with pookalam designs. It became my way to celebrate Onam in the UK, with authenticity and pride.

Shopping from Dakshin Vastram was seamless, and delivery was fast. Now, every Onam, I wear my identity—woven in cotton.
