NYSA SILK brings 55 years of weaver relationships from the Dharmavaram loom floor to the Indo-Canadian community — for weddings in Brampton, Diwali in Vancouver, and every occasion that calls for the real thing.
Every saree we ship to Canada comes from one of our 35 named weaver families in Dharmavaram, Kanchipuram and the surrounding villages. No middlemen, no Surat re-sellers — only silk curated by Jaya and vetted by her father, who has spent 55 years on the loom floor.
Each saree carries the Silk Mark label issued by the Central Silk Board of India, and our handloom pieces carry the Handloom Mark. For an Indo-Canadian buyer ordering from afar, that certification is your assurance that what arrives is pure, handwoven silk — never a power-loom imitation.
A NYSA silk saree is meant to be draped at a wedding in Brampton, folded into a trousseau in Vancouver, and inherited a generation later. We curate for the occasions that matter to the Indo-Canadian community — bridal, festive, and the family functions that bring the diaspora together.
We ship across all provinces and territories via tracked international courier. Most orders to Toronto, Brampton, Vancouver, Calgary and the GTA arrive within 8 to 14 business days of dispatch, with full tracking from our atelier to your door.
Every parcel is insured for its full value and shipped with end-to-end tracking. You will receive your tracking number by email the moment your saree leaves us, presented in its rigid keepsake box and acid-free silk tissue.
For weddings and festivals, order with a comfortable margin — we recommend three to four weeks ahead, allowing for winter weather and remote-area transit. If your function is sooner, speak to Jaya and we will advise honestly on timelines.
Any duty and applicable taxes such as GST or HST are the buyer's responsibility and are assessed by the Canada Border Services Agency at the point of entry. Typical thresholds and rates vary by province and category and change over time, so we cannot promise a specific outcome for your parcel.
We declare every shipment honestly and accurately. We do not under-declare value, as that exposes you to penalties and can void insurance.
This is general, non-binding guidance — not legal or tax advice. For your specific situation, please confirm with the Canada Border Services Agency or a licensed customs broker.
Canadian winters bring dry, heated indoor air that can pull moisture from silk and make it brittle, while summers can turn humid. Store your saree in the breathable muslin dust bag we provide, away from heating vents and direct light, and refold it along a fresh line every few months to prevent creasing.
Avoid sealing the saree in plastic, especially in humid months, and let it breathe occasionally. For cleaning, use a dry cleaner experienced with fine Indian silk and gold zari.

“I ordered to Vancouver for my sister's wedding and the Handloom Mark and weaver card meant so much. Genuine handloom silk, woven by people with names. Worth every step of the wait.”
