When we think Gaurang Shah the first thing to come our minds would be those heavy border Kanjeevaram sarees. The beauty of those sarees is the unique combos used and the play of the zari. The zari though heavy does not look too shiny or bling. The use of bright colors adds up to the fun factor and making fabrics like Kanjeevaram an option for those who prefer funky sarees.

The signature Gaurang Shah pattern of floral and geometrics across these fabrics makes it very unique.
