Question 1

What is the check pattern on this saree?

Accepted Answer

A small, evenly spaced check worked over the whole burgundy body, dobby-set on body, border and pallu, and finished at the edge with a broad golden zari border.

Question 2

What exactly arrives, and what are the measurements?

Accepted Answer

An unstitched Maheshwari silk drape measuring 6.3-6.5 m in total length and 45-46 inches wide, weighing 350-360 g at 44-46 GSM. The total length includes an attached, unstitched blouse piece of 80-90 cm in the same weave as the body, which is included in the stated price. Fall, pico and edge finishing are not done before dispatch, but we will do them on request.

Question 3

How do I know this is handwoven and not powerloom?

Accepted Answer

It is handwoven on a pit loom, with the weft inserted by hand and the patterning on body, border and pallu set on a dobby. These pieces are woven in Mominpura, Maheshwar, Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh. The Handloom Mark is held with the registration on record, and every piece is checked before it leaves us. Nothing we sell is machine-woven.

Question 4

What does bugdi mean?

Accepted Answer

Bugdi describes the woven border design, which reads the same on both faces of the border. It is a feature you can turn over in your hand and see for yourself.

Question 5

Is the fabric see-through, and what do I wear under it?

Accepted Answer

The body is semi-sheer, which is what gives the saree its weight of 350-360 g and its 44-46 GSM. Wear it with a petticoat in a matching or complementary shade. The same lightness is why it drapes softly and holds its pleats through a long evening.

Question 6

Will the colour I receive match the photograph?

Accepted Answer

Every handloom saree is individually woven by skilled artisans. Slight variations in weave, texture, and colour are natural characteristics of handcrafted textiles and reflect the authenticity of genuine artisan craftsmanship. Colours may vary slightly between screens and in natural light If the shade does not match or you are unhappy with the quality, we will exchange the piece.

Question 7

How should I clean and store it?

Accepted Answer

Dry clean only. Air-dry in shade without wringing, iron inside out on low to medium heat under a cotton press cloth, then store the saree wrapped in breathable cotton or muslin in a cool dark cupboard, refolding it every three to six months. Home washing is not recommended.

Question 8

Where can I wear this one?

Accepted Answer

It suits festival and festive dressing, formal and ethnic occasions, lighter events, and weddings or receptions where you are attending as a guest. It also works as party wear.

Question 9

What is your return and exchange window?

Accepted Answer

Returns and exchanges are accepted within two days, provided the piece is unused, with its tags intact and in its original packaging. Exchange is also offered where the colour does not match or you are dissatisfied with the quality.

Question 10

When will it ship, and do you deliver outside India?

Accepted Answer

Shipping within India is free, cash on delivery is available, and we ship worldwide with international charges billed on actuals.
