Wash Care

Festive & Semi Festive Collections

Our Festive/Semi Festive products may be woven in delicate fabrics, such as silk and may contain zari/zardosi, intricate stitching and embroidery and/or embellishments on them. We always advise our customers to dry clean the garments. Often, the first dry wash enables sarees to maintain their sheen and shine. This also protects colour bleeding and maintains its natural texture.

We do not recommend hand washing the garments either, to protect the fabric colour from bleeding.

Not all of the sarees have undergone zari testing. Sarees that have been tested for zari will have a special mention in the saree description.

No soaking.
No machine wash.
No bleaching.

Casual Collection

We would recommend dry cleaning or handwashing our casual wear.

Some casual plain cotton fabrics, without any zari work/embellishments/sequin/tassels etc. may be washed by hand. If they are block printed, they may be dry washed or handwashed. Please make sure to wash with care as colours may bleed.

Others kinds of fabrics with zari, embellishments, tassels or sequins etc. are advised to be dry cleaned. We would not recommend hand washing.

No soaking.
No bleaching.

Please note that we will not be responsible for exchanges/returns or refunds in cases of damaging our products during washing it in ways that have been prohibited.

Storage

Proper storage is crucial for preserving silk products over time and enhancing their longevity.

Store the silk/semi silk products either on clothes hanger or inside cotton cloth bags. Avoid keeping them in plastic bags for extended periods to prevent the zari from blackening.

To prevent tearing along the folds, change the folds occasionally. It is also recommended to expose silk fabrics to the natural atmosphere outside the cupboard from time to time.

Cotton clothes may be stored in any method that suits you best.

Inconsistencies in Handloom Products

At times, you might notice an odd raised thread, an abrupt ending of a pattern, or possibly some 'loose' threads connecting with the fabric when looking at a saree/dress material. Finishes of the products may differ slightly as well. You might observe two sarees of the same design being slightly different from each other.

These small imperfections and irregularities are, in fact, the distinctive marks of a handloom or handmade item. No two products of the same design would be identical to each other.

Though the word handloom products is being used across the website, it is an alternate word used for all ethnic wear. Traditionally, as sarees were woven in handlooms before the advent of powerlooms, we use the word ‘handloom product’ for all sarees woven, irrespective of the machine used for weaving.

Why these Inconsistencies?

Handlooms are manually operated by the weavers, as the name implies. The manual tapping and pulling of warp and weft threads creates the saree design and patterns.

Therefore, if you notice holes along the saree's selvedge, it's because that’s where the saree was securely fastened to the loom, allowing the weavers to craft the designs and patterns.

As weaving inconsistencies are hard to definitely classify, there being no hard and fast rules of it, given below are some of the typical inconsistencies noticed during weaving, but are NOT viewed as defects:

Small knots or bumps in the threads are caused by joining broken threads and are not considered defects.
Uneven selvedge or saree/fabric border is another common phenomenon of hand weaving. If you run your hand over the border, you might notice a waviness along the edges or unevenness of the width of the saree, which is characteristic of the hand woven product. It does not affect the durability or usability of the saree/dress.
Uneven threads, pulls and snags are part of the manual weaving process and loom operation, so they are not regarded as flaws.
Slubs, or tiny bundles of residual threads, are natural occurrences in the weaving process. Hand-spun silk threads are observed to commonly have these slubs.
Minute gaps that might give the appearance of loose weaving in some areas are not seen as defects, as they occur during the normal handloom weaving process. Slight shifts in design alignments may occur near the intricate borders or near the pallu/dupatta region.
