Film actors and celebrities drive up the style quotient with their sartorial elegance. Many people try to swing their dressing around the trends that are ignited on social media by such personalities in the show biz. And, it is not uncommon for people to wish to have the clothing that their screen idols show up in.
Now, actor and dancer Navya Nair has put on sale her wardrobe of once-worn saris. The actor, much-discussed for the choice of her saris, has announced this through an Instagram post.
Navya’s plan to sell her saris, which she either never wore after purchasing or didn't find the time to wear even once, under the label ‘pre-loved.’ She might be one of the first among Malayalam actors to sell her previously worn outfits. This practice of selling rarely used clothing is quite common among celebrities in north India.
Following Navya’s post, an Instagram page named ‘Pre-Loved by Navya Nair’ was launched. So far, it has listed six saris for sale, including two Kancheepuram saris. The other saris are linen and Banarasi. The pricing for the linen saris starts at Rs 2,500, while the Kancheepuram saris are priced between Rs 4,000 and 4,600. Banarasi saris start at Rs 4,500 rupees and the prices might be slightly higher if a blouse is included.
Navya Nair has announced that priority will be given to early responders. She has also mentioned that buyers need to pay additional shipping charges. Photos of Navya wearing the up-for-sale saris are available alongside each listing. Those interested are asked to send messages directly to Navya’s page for purchase inquiries. They will be provided with further details. Fans are expecting to see more saris on sale in the coming days. There is also chatter and curiosity on whether Navya will expand her offerings to include other clothing as well.
