About Samiran
समीरणsamīraṇa · Sanskrit
a breeze; that which sets the air in motion
The word
Two roots, one breeze
Samīraṇa comes from the Sanskrit root īr, “to move, to set in motion”, joined with sam, “together, completely”. It is the old word for the wind: not a storm, but the steady breeze that keeps the air alive.
together, completely
to move, to set in motion
a breeze. Light on the body, easy to move in, and quietly beautiful: what we want our clothes to feel like.
What guides us
Three words we design by
Clothes that sit easily on the body and ask nothing of you.
Chosen with care, from deep indigo to haldi yellow.
Fabric first: the weave, the texture and the way it falls.
The saree
Named in India’s own languages
Our sarees draw on India’s textile traditions: Banarasi and Kanjivaram-inspired weaves, Ajrakh and bandhani prints, leheriya bands of colour and Paithani-inspired peacock pallus, alongside lighter everyday drapes with florals, tassels and appliqué.
Each one carries a name from Sanskrit and Hindi.
