Every journey begins with a spark, a yearning to explore new horizons.Travelers, immersed
in vibrant cultures, collect stories and lessons that enrich their lives. In Chettinad, children hear lullabies
that tell tales of travel, steeped in history. These experiences shape their understanding
of diversity, creating a rich tapestry of growth and connection. PAYANAM, translating to
journey in Tamil, is our festive textile collection inspired by the opulent heritage
of Chettinad and the lives of its well-traveled people.

Anavila is a way of redefining comfort, luxury, and elegance for today’s women. Rooted
in our Indian ethos and looking at the world with curious eyes we constantly strive for
innovation, originality, and beauty in everything we create.

The making of the linen sari is nothing short of an extraordinary
journey of our love for the warp and weft. Back in 2010 the
passionate experiment with indigenous textiles and artisanal skill
coupled with the desire to modernize and deconstruct the sari
space led ‘Anavila’ to innovate ‘the linen sari’, today a must-have
in every sari wardrobe.
