Suii_Dhaggaa: Glorifying Traditional Indian Fashion & Handwoven Craftsmanship

3 min readJul 1, 2024

In a world dominated by mass-produced garments, where the human touch often feels distant, there is a growing appreciation for the authenticity and craftsmanship of handwoven textiles. Suii_Dhaggaa, a startup launched in March 2023 by founder Yashvi Shah and her mother Neetu Gujrati as a co-founder, steps into this niche with a mission to redefine traditional Indian fashion through pure handwoven sarees and suits. The idea for Suii_Dhaggaa sprouted from Yashvi Shah’s personal journey and her deep-rooted connection to the artistry of Banarasi textiles.

After completing her graduation in Banaras, she found herself immersed in the rich cultural heritage of handwoven fabrics. However, she noticed a gap in the accessibility of these exquisite pieces, especially for those outside traditional hubs of textile craftsmanship. Driven by her passion for preserving and promoting artisanal craftsmanship, Yashvi embarked on a journey to bring the essence of Banarasi textiles to a wider audience. With a modest initial investment of ₹12,000 at the age of 21, she set out to create a platform that celebrates the artistry and intricacy of handwoven fabrics.

Yashvi’s aspirations for Suii_Dhaggaa extend further than just commerce; it encompasses the preservation of a legacy and the empowerment of artisans. Leveraging her expertise in digital marketing and drawing from her family’s rich history in the textile industry, she seeks to revolutionize the perception and consumption of handwoven textiles in the contemporary world.
