Our Story

Behind Zari and Zen is Shivani Singh, a visionary entrepreneur driven by her lifelong love for sarees and Indian craftsmanship. Based in Bangalore, Shivani founded Zari and Zen with a simple belief — that every saree carries a story, woven with tradition, emotion, and artistry.

Her journey began with a passion for curating authentic, handpicked sarees from weavers and artisans across India — from the soft drape of Muslin Silk to the regal sheen of Banarasi and the timeless charm of Dola Silk. Each collection reflects her dedication to quality, heritage, and contemporary grace, thoughtfully chosen for women who embrace elegance with individuality.

Through Zari and Zen, Shivani aims to revive the essence of slow fashion — celebrating mindful choices, ethical sourcing, and the art of wearing stories that transcend trends. The brand stands for more than just sarees; it stands for craftsmanship, confidence, and connection.

Every piece you see on this site is personally curated or designed under Shivani’s guidance, ensuring that it meets the brand’s promise — “Crafted for the Modern Muse.”
