 Color Variations

The colors you see on our website will depend on the accuracy of your monitor for which subtle variations must be acknowledged. Actual colors may vary based on the computer/mobile display settings or due to studio lighting. All the pictures are of actual products and we try to match the picture colors as close to the product as possible.

 Our products are made and handled by human hands involving various processes. There is bound to be variations in colour, prints, finish and overall look. We use an "all over print" design for most our products and the positioning of artwork may be different from that as displayed in the picture. For Hand dyed & Hand printed sarees, the print might have slight irregularities in the motif & colours which results from the human involvement in the process & is a hallmark of handcrafted products.

 

Color Binding & Bleed

Since hand dyed & hand block printed fabrics use natural dyes, it may rub dry, leave marks or bleed colour on coming in contact with water for the first time. The colours that are used are not fast and we do not use any colour binding agents. Hence it is required that you get these products Dry Cleaned Only.

One must be very careful when applying fragrances to handmade clothes as the ingredients may cause your clothes to remove print or stain. It's best to spray lightly into the air in front of you then walk directly into the spritz.

 

Design Variations

Sarees with Hand block prints, Bandhni, Lahariya, Tie & Dye, Batik are handmade. The print placements, colors may vary from piece to piece . There might also be slight irregularities in prints, motifs etc as these are manual processes and cannot be deemed as defects.

 

Wash Instructions

We Highly recommend you dry wash all sarees in order to maintain the fabric sheen and to avoid any fading or color bleed. Never Machine-wash a saree.

Sorting

Sort clothes colour-wise. Wash only similar coloured garments together.

Soaking

The soiled areas can be rubbed gently by hand. Do not use a solid bar of soap or a brush. Rinse the garment a few times in cold water to remove the detergent completely. Do not wring the saree.

Starching

Drying
