FAQs

The cloth

Is every saree handloom?
Each product page names the craft, technique and region of that saree. We describe a saree as handwoven only where it is.

Why are there small irregularities?
Because a person made it. Slight variation in motif, alignment and colour is the mark of handwork, not a defect.

Will the colour run?
Hand-dyed and naturally dyed cloth may release a little colour in the first wash. This is normal.

How should I care for my saree?
Each product page carries care instructions for that saree.

Does it come with a blouse piece?
Where one is included, the product page says so.
