Silk Saris
Indian Attire has some nice simple silk saris at decent prices (not as cheap as buying directly in India, but better prices than most online sari shops).
Ikat Prints from India
Ikat recently went through a run of popularity with mags like Domino giving it press, famous designers making expensive clothing from it and chain home furnishings stores like Pottery Barn carrying it on their pillows shelves. My favorite kind of ikat is from Orissa (top photo).
