About raw silk
Raw silk is silk that is not fully degummed, so it keeps a natural texture and slight crispness, with a matte sheen and gentle slubs. It holds pleats well, which gives the saree a neat, structured drape. Because it is woven on a hand-operated loom, 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 it does not crack along the folds, and do not spray perfume directly on the silk. Iron on low heat with a cloth in between.
