CARE TIP

Dry clean is recommended for the first wash to preserve the natural vegetable colours and the beauty of the handblock prints. Thereafter, if hand washing is preferred, gently wash separately in cold water using a mild detergent. Do not bleach, soak for long periods or wring. Dry in shade and avoid direct, harsh sunlight to help preserve the natural colours.

STORAGE TIP

Store the saree folded in a soft muslin or cotton cloth in a cool, dry place. Refold it occasionally to prevent permanent creases. Keep away from direct sunlight, excessive moisture and harsh chemicals to preserve the natural vegetable-dyed colours, silk fabric and handcrafted prints.

Please Note: As this saree is handblock printed and naturally vegetable dyed, slight variations in colour, print placement and texture may occur. These are not imperfections but authentic marks of the artisan's hand and make each saree one of a kind.
