Handwoven Kosa Silk
GI-Certified Authenticity

A Heritage You Can Wear. A Pride You Can Pass On.

Experience the legacy of authentic Champa Kosa silk, handcrafted by master weavers preserving a centuries-old tradition.

Why Champa Kosa Exists

In a world of machine-made imitations, we safeguard a heritage craft at risk of extinction.

The Decline
Mass production has flooded markets with fake "pure silk" that lacks the soul, durability and cultural significance of authentic handwoven Kosa.
The Loss
With each passing generation, fewer master weavers remain, taking with them centuries of irreplaceable knowledge and technique.
The Disconnect
Modern women have fewer opportunities to connect with their cultural heritage in meaningful, tangible ways that fit contemporary lifestyles.
Our Purpose
Champa Kosa bridges this gap, connecting you directly with master weavers and their living heritage, ensuring this tradition not only survives but thrives.

What Makes Champa Kosa Different

Beyond beauty, our sarees represent an unbroken tradition of excellence that spans centuries – a wearable legacy for the discerning woman.

GI-Tag Authenticity

Each Champa Kosa saree is GI-certified, guaranteeing its authentic origin and protecting you from imitations. This prestigious mark is awarded only to genuine Kosa silk from Champa, Chhattisgarh.

Handwoven Exclusivity

Each saree requires 5-7 days of meticulous handcraft on traditional looms. No mass production means your saree is uniquely yours, with subtle characteristics that can never be replicated exactly.

Lightweight Comfort

Unlike heavy silk that restricts movement, Kosa silk's natural texture creates a lightweight drape that feels like a second skin, ideal for all-day wear while maintaining an elegant, refined presence.

Artisanal Heritage

Every saree tells the story of its weaver, whose family has preserved traditional patterns and techniques across generations. This living heritage flows directly from their hands to your wardrobe.

Limited Collections

We release only three collections annually, each containing a limited number of sarees. This controlled production ensures the highest quality while maintaining the exclusivity of your purchase.

Ethical Luxury

We ensure fair compensation that honors the artisans' skill and time. By choosing Champa Kosa, you directly support families who have maintained this craft for generations despite economic challenges.

The Heritage of Kosa Silk

A fabric so precious that it was once reserved for royalty, now preserved for women who recognize true value.

What is Kosa Silk?

Kosa silk comes from wild silkworms native to Chhattisgarh's forests. Unlike commercial silk, it's harvested without harming the silkworm, creating a uniquely textured, naturally golden-hued fabric with superior breathability and durability.

Why Champa is Special

Champa has been a silk weaving hub since the 14th century, with its unique water chemistry and climate creating ideal conditions for silk processing. The region's isolation helped preserve traditional patterns and techniques that would otherwise have been lost to industrialization.

The GI Tag Significance

The Geographical Indication tag is a legal certification that protects regional crafts from imitation. Champa Kosa silk received this prestigious recognition in 2011, acknowledging its unique characteristics and historical significance that can only come from this specific region.

From Cocoon to Saree

The journey of a Champa Kosa saree begins in the forests where silkworms create cocoons on sal and arjun trees. These cocoons are sustainably harvested, then processed using traditional methods before being handspun into yarn. Master weavers then spend days at the loom, creating intricate patterns that have been passed down through generations.

Their Stories. Their Heritage.

Women across generations and borders find more than beauty in our sarees—they discover connection, confidence, and cultural pride.

"I've worn silk sarees all my life, but nothing compares to Champa Kosa. The lightness, the texture, the way it drapes—it feels alive. I wore it to my daughter's wedding and felt a connection to my grandmother who would have worn something similar."

Dr. Meera Sharma
Professor, Delhi

"Living abroad for 15 years made me crave authentic pieces of home. My Champa Kosa saree isn't just clothing—it's my heritage in tangible form. When I wear it at cultural events in London, even non-Indians recognize its exceptional quality."

Priya Mehta
IT Professional, UK

"As a bride, I wanted something meaningful, not just trendy. Knowing the story behind my Champa Kosa wedding saree—the weaver family, the months of work, the centuries of tradition—made it infinitely more special than any designer piece."

The Master Weavers of Champa

Behind every Champa Kosa saree are hands that have inherited centuries of craftsmanship—families who are the true guardians of this living heritage.

These aren't factory workers but artist families who have passed their skills from generation to generation. Many began learning at age 10, sitting beside grandparents who learned from their grandparents.

With Champa Kosa, you aren't just buying a product—you're supporting these families directly, ensuring that their irreplaceable knowledge and artistry continues for another generation.

Common Questions About Champa Kosa

Is the price worth it compared to other silk sarees?

When you consider that each Champa Kosa saree takes 5-7 days of dedicated handwork by master weavers, uses ethically sourced materials, and carries centuries of heritage, the value becomes clear. Unlike machine-made or mass-produced silk, these sarees appreciate in value over time and can be passed down as heirlooms.

How do I know I'm getting authentic Kosa silk?

Every Champa Kosa saree comes with GI-certification and documentation that details the weaver, weaving date, and silk source. Additionally, authentic Kosa has distinctive texture characteristics that our detailed photographs highlight, and we welcome video consultations for customers who want to examine the silk more closely before purchasing.

Is Kosa silk comfortable for all-day wear?

Absolutely! Unlike heavy silks that can be restrictive, Kosa silk is remarkably lightweight and breathable. Its natural texture allows air circulation, making it comfortable even in warm weather or for extended wear during long ceremonies or events. Many customers note that it "feels like a second skin" after a short wearing period.

How do I care for my Kosa silk saree?

Each saree comes with detailed care instructions, but generally, Kosa silk is surprisingly resilient. We recommend dry cleaning for the first few years, then gentle hand washing with mild soap in room-temperature water. Properly cared for, your Champa Kosa saree will maintain its luster and strength for decades—many of our customers still wear Kosa sarees that belonged to their grandmothers.
