About Raw Silk
Raw silk is not fully degummed, which leaves the fibre with its natural texture, gentle slubs and a soft matte sheen. The slight crispness helps pleats sit flat and sharp. On a handloom, small irregularities in weave or colour are a natural sign of handwork, not a defect.
Care
Dry clean only. Store the saree wrapped in a soft cotton or muslin cloth, away from moisture. Refold it every few months so the zari does not crack along the folds. Do not spray perfume directly on the silk or zari. Iron on low heat with a cloth in between.
