At the launch, Yami Gautam Dhar, Indian Actress, said, “It feels incredibly special to be here celebrating India’s beautiful silk traditions. Seeing how every Kosa fabric comes to life, the artistry, the generations of skill passed down, the stories woven into each motif, makes you realise how much heart goes into this craft. When you support something like this, it’s not just about fashion. It’s about standing by the artisans, valuing their dedication, and keeping a precious part of our heritage alive for the future.”

Kosala presents elevated handwoven luxury for women and men, from luminous Kosa and Tussar silk sarees, dupattas, and stoles to impeccably crafted kurtas and pure Kosa silk shirts. Complemented by handcrafted bags and accessories in Kosa, Ghicha, and cotton, each piece embodies timeless refinement and artisanal excellence.

Through Kosala, we keep the art of Indian handweaving at the heart of contemporary fashion, taking India's craftsmanship from the loom to the world."

At the flagship launch, Kosala unveiled a preview of Sunehri – Spring Summer 26, its latest collection of exquisite sarees and dupattas. Bridging the precision of coastal architecture with the romance of a shoreline in bloom, Sunehri weaves structured geometric checks with ethereal handwoven florals in a palette of salt-washed ivories and sunset corals. The store also showcases Chitr, inspired by the Ragamala tradition of Indian miniature paintings, and Vyoma, which captures the celestial rhythm of changing skies through luminous, seasonally expressive textiles.

Each creation is rooted in a transparent, artisan-led value chain that empowers over 700 weavers across Raigarh and Janjgir–Champa in Chhattisgarh. Through Kosala, Hindalco strengthens the Kosa silk ecosystem, enhancing skills, enabling direct market access, and building a sustainable model for rural entrepreneurship while safeguarding the indigenous legacy of Kosa silk.
