South Asian fashion is finally getting its flowers, as the style's unique craftsmanship and traditional inspiration has been showcased across our TV screens, all throughout pop culture, and even on the red carpet. Jennifer Aniston's Manish Malhotra lehenga in "Murder Mystery 2" was truly breathtaking, and every look that walked the red carpet at the NMACC Gala in Mumbai was *chef's kiss* perfection. From the detailed embroidery to the hand-loomed fabrics and textiles, each piece is a beautiful creation.
However, shopping for traditional South Asian clothing has always been a struggle, especially if you're abroad. Most of the shopping has to be done online, and when each piece is tailored to your measurements, it can be tricky to coordinate from across the globe. Fortunately, Sani just made history for becoming one of the first brands with traditional attire to be housed at Nordstrom. Now you can shop for South Asian clothing for any upcoming weddings or events on your calendar without the hassle or the markup.
The Sani collection at Nordstrom features a variety of silhouettes that seamlessly blend traditional designs and drapings with a contemporary flair. You can shop from a variety of styles including flowy Anarkalis (think maxi dresses), modern palazzo sets, a predraped saree with a statement-making blouse, and so much more. Each piece is perfect for attending a South Asian wedding or an event.
The best part about Sani's collection is that most pieces are prepleated with an attached dupatta (or scarf). This makes it easier than ever to style your piece and look put together without struggling with pleating it yourself and pinning everything in place. Traditional South Asian attire is beautifully handcrafted, and to do it justice, it requires a lot of effort (and safety pins) when it comes to draping and styling it the right way.
The collection is not all glitzy party wear; the line also has luxe embroidered lounge sets you can wear for more casual outings or when you want to feel like royalty in your home. Shop our top picks ahead!
