Woman's Innovative Saree With In-Built Pocket Goes Viral

Social media is a platform where you can discover a multitude of trends. Whether it be bizarre food concoctions or spontaneous dance performances at public places, your feed has it all. But this time, it is our beloved saree that is creating waves online with a modern twist. This timeless garment has got pockets now. Yes, you heard that right. A video of a woman wearing a saree with pockets has gone viral, sparking mixed reactions from the social media users.

The video was shared by clothing brand Anuvari on Instagram. In the clip, a woman elegantly dressed in a saree adorned with monochromatic patterns is seen walking with a bag in her hand. What’s truly remarkable is how effortlessly she retrieves her mobile phone from a pocket integrated into the saree’s design. This pocket isn’t just functional but seamlessly blends with the saree’s aesthetics. In another moment, she is seen writing something on a piece of paper and carefully placing it into her saree’s cleverly designed pocket.

The caption accompanying the video read, “Ready To wear Saree with Pocket.”

Since hitting the web a week ago, the video propelled to online fame by racking up over 14.2 million views. The innovative design of the saree captured users’ attention, sparking a flurry of reactions.

In the comment section, one user commented, “In a world where women’s jeans have no pockets they created pockets on saree,” while another added, “People are finally realizing the advantage of pockets! Excellent innovation. It’s high time WE GIRLS NEED POCKETS ON EVERY DRESS WE WEAR. JUST GET THAT CLEAR!”

A commenter chimed in with, “Thank you world Now all the women can leave their men alone and carry their own phones to any function.”

Praising the design, one individual wrote, “It’s a good starting point. I think this can be developed into something much much better! Great going guys!”

A viewer, sharing their perspective, stated, “Ready to wear that too with a pocket, awesome although this pocket is too in your face, would appreciate a rather concealed pocket like in a kurti .”

Injecting humour to the discussion, a person playfully wrote, “We have saree with pockets before GTA VI,” while another simply said, “Girls are happier when their dress has pockets, it’s science.”

The streak of appreciation continued with remarks like “It looks soo classsyyy” and “Perfect. So beautiful though.”

However, not everyone was on board with the trend. One dissenter expressed, “Sorry but this is a big NO for me let saree be saree, don’t modernize it unnecessarily,” while another added, “Stop ruining the originals.”

Sharing a contrasting opinion, a user wrote, “I think it’s kinda silly.. It ruins the whole character of saree.. It’s my opinion.”
