 Kasavu Sarees and Mundu

A trip to Kerala is incomplete without buying the iconic Kasavu saree, a cream-colored cotton or silk saree with golden borders. It's a symbol of grace and is worn during festivals and weddings.

• Men’s traditional wear, called Mundu, is also made from similar cotton or silk fabric.

 Handloom Fabrics

Kerala’s handloom industry is centered in places like Balaramapuram and Chendamangalam. Shoppers can buy:

• Handwoven cotton fabrics
• Bedsheets and towels
• Colorful lungis and stoles

These are soft, breathable, and ideal for warm weather.
