A store that had a modest beginning in 1910 at Alappuzha with a paltry 4000 sq.ft floor area has now evolved into a sprawling textile mall with a slew of distinct features. Now, the combined facility and utility area of Seematti is a whopping five lakh sq.ft with car park and excellent infrastructure. Textile maverick S. Veeriah Reddiar sowed the seeds of textile revolution in Kerala by opening the first Seematti store in 1910. In the succeeding decades, Seematti branched out to all major centers in Travancore like Changanassery, Thiruvalla, Chengannur, Pathanamthitta, Kollam, Kayamkulam, Adoor, Trivandrum etc. In early 1950’s, Seematti Kottayam was born. Beena Kannan’s father V. Thiruvenkitam, son of Veeriah Reddiar continues to be the leading light of Seematti Kottayam. He not only expanded Seematti Kottayam but also founded Seematti Kochi handing over the reins of the latter to his daughter Beena and son-in-law Veeriah alias Kannan.
Today Seematti is the bridal destination of Kerala catering to all the choices of a bride under a single roof. The CEO and lead designer of Seematti, Beena Kannan is also a pioneer in introducing a new array of Kancheepuram Saree every year. This tradition has been on in Seematti since 2003. The array of Sarees includes Antique bridal brocades, new generation softwear sarees, Shimmer light brocades, Designer Jadhkan sarees, and Stretchable Kancheepuram wedding sarees. These sarees not only found a prominent place in hearts of the bride but also set a trend in the bridal fashion of Kerala. Seematti caters to the needs of the grooms and men’s fashion by opening Men’s Ethnic wear section and Men’s studio where in all the popular Men’s brands are merchandised. In short, Seematti is the one stop shop for every family for their wedding purchase.
