About soft silk
Soft silk sarees are woven in lightweight pure silk and fall in a fluid drape. The zari is lighter than on a traditional Kanjivaram saree, so they stay comfortable through a long function. Small variations in weave or colour come from the hand-operated loom.
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, and iron on low heat with a cloth in between.
