Aamcha laadka
Every Maharashtrian home has that one trunk. The one that opens only for Gudi Padwa, Ganpati and weddings, filled with Aai's Paithani, folded with love and a little naphthalene.
Peshwai Paithani brings that heirloom feeling to the newest member of the family. A bow tie in authentic Paithani silk, so that when the whole family dresses up in their finest, nobody gets left out of the photo.
Parampara is what we pass on. Love is who we pass it to.

पेशवाई · of the Peshwas
For the grandeur of the Maratha Peshwas, who ruled from Pune and held Paithani close to their hearts.
Paithani
पैठणी · the silk of Paithan
For the legendary handwoven silk of Maharashtra, named after the town of Paithan where it was born.
The story of Paithani
Paithani is Maharashtra's most celebrated silk, named after the ancient town of Paithan on the banks of the Godavari, where it has been woven for over two thousand years. Traditional Paithani is famous for its rich zari borders and pallus with peacock and lotus motifs.
In the 18th century, the Peshwas, who ruled the Maratha empire from Pune's Shaniwar Wada, became great patrons of the weave. Paithani became the pride of royal households, and to this day it's the saree every Maharashtrian bride dreams of and every Aaji keeps for the most special days.
From the Peshwas' Pune to your home, with love.

In the details
Real Paithani silk from Maharashtra, with the rich sheen and festive character that has made it an heirloom for generations.
Neat, structured and timeless. All the grandeur of a Paithani, in a size that's just right for your little Peshwa.
Available in S, M and L, so it sits in proportion on a tiny Shih Tzu or a stately German Shepherd.
Gudi Padwa, Ganeshotsav, Diwali, Marathi weddings and every family photo where the whole household wears its Paithani best.
The royal darbar
Gudi Padwa mornings, Ganpati aartis, Diwali faral and wedding mandaps. Some traditions are better with a wagging tail.
Gifting a Paithani has always meant “you're family.” Now it can mean the same for the four-legged ones. Perfect for a Marathi pet parent, a Diwali hamper or a new puppy's first festival.
