About raw silk
Raw silk is silk that is not fully degummed, so it keeps a natural texture and a slight crispness. It has a matte sheen with gentle slubs and holds pleats well, which keeps a saree looking neat through a long day. On a handloom, small irregularities in the weave 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 silk or zari, and iron on low heat with a cloth in between.
