Washing is not the only important thing, but proper storage. You should always keep your hand-woven saree in a cool, dry area. In order to store them longer, use a muslin or cotton breathable fabric. This safeguards the material and the fine, elaborate woven zari work against moisture and dust, and the saree can breathe. It is best not to store them in plastic bags, as this may cause moisture buildup and destruction. Fold your sarees periodically to avoid the creation of irreversible creases by rotating the folds to ensure that new lines get created. Use natural repellants such as neem leaves to repel the moths and never smoke them using chemical-based naphthalene balls, which would eventually damage the thin threads after some time.
Tidbits of Woven Saree Care:
- Dry-clean silk and tissue material.
- Cold water can be used to wash a cotton saree with a mild detergent.
- Do not wring or twist the saree.
- Keep dry in a cool, dry place covered in a breathable cloth.
- Fold periodically, say every two months or so, to avoid crease damage.
- Apply organic methods of repelling moths, such as neem leaves, as opposed to chemicals.

FAQs
What is the meaning of a woven saree?
A typical saree is a woven Indian garment in which interlacing threads are used to make the fabric on a loom. As opposed to printed sarees, the design and pattern do not get imprinted over the material, but it is carefully woven into the fabric, strand by strand. This brings about a garment with its own texture and durable, rich design.
What is the difference between handwoven sarees and machine-made ones?
The principal distinction is the process and the outcome. Handwoven sarees are produced by a weaver by hand on a handloom. It is a time-consuming and tedious task that produces its own special, even one-of-a-kind product with its minor irregularities that are part of its appeal. Mechanical sarees, however, are machine-manufactured in automated looms. They provide a perfect and consistent appearance and are less costly as compared to a handmade saree, but they do not have the soul and uniqueness of a handmade product. Generally handwoven sarees are more sustainable and more natural fibers are used and can usually be worn through generations.
Are all your sarees handwoven?
Yes, our brand is dedicated to the craft of handloom weaving. We work directly with artisans to create and source all our sarees, ensuring that every piece is a genuine handwoven creation.
Are your woven cotton sarees suitable for daily wear?
Absolutely. Our woven cotton sarees are designed to be breathable, lightweight, and comfortable, making them perfect for daily wear, whether for the office or a casual outing. They combine the elegance of a traditional saree with the comfort and practicality needed for everyday life.
How can I identify a handwoven saree?
A few key signs can help you identify a handwoven saree. Look for slight irregularities or minor imperfections in the weave or design, which are natural hallmarks of human craftsmanship. The reverse side of the saree will often mirror the design on the front. Additionally, handloom sarees, especially those with zari work, may have small pin marks on the borders where the saree was pinned to the loom. They often have a softer, more fluid drape and feel compared to the stiffness of machine-made synthetic fabrics.
