Packing for a trip can be stressful! 

Imagine, packing a neatly ironed and folded saree for a special occasion, probably a destination wedding or a family function, only to find it a wrinkled mess. 

What a nightmare!! 😭

Unlike your usual jeans and tee, a saree requires more care and attention. The last thing you’d want is to have 6 yards of crumpled mess instead of sheer elegance. Even though packing a saree may seem like a small task, the right hacks can make or break your impression. You wouldn’t want to show up looking like a misfit at a beautiful venue. 

As we say, the first impression is the last impression, and we believe in making a fabulous impression with our elegant sarees, so let’s dive into some handy tips to ensure your saree stays fresh and wrinkle-free.

Placing your saree in a garment bag and placing tissue paper between the folds while packing can work wonders.

🧳What’s the fuss about packing a Saree? 

Unlike your casual wear, Sarees are delicate, and to keep your beautiful saree in mint condition one needs to be mindful. If not packed properly a saree can easily get creased or torn and you may end up ruining your saree. 

Here’s why packing a saree requires strategy:

• Often made from fine fabrics like georgette, chiffon or silk, the saree is prone to creases which can lead to fabric damage over the years.

• Additionally, cramming a saree in a suitcase may result in ruining the embroidery, embellishments or the intricate detailing on your saree.

• Imagine the drama unfolding, on finding your ironed saree with creases. Don’t you wish you’d folded it properly. By folding the saree you can minimise the creasing and your stress.
