Frequently Asked Questions About Silk Sarees

What types of silk sarees do you offer?

We specialise in authentic South Indian silk sarees including Kanchipuram (Kanjivaram) silk sarees, Mysore silk, Banarasi silk, soft silk sarees, and designer silk sarees. Each piece features traditional handwoven designs with pure zari work, temple borders, and classic motifs sourced directly from master weavers in India.

How can I tell if a silk saree is genuine?

Authentic silk has a natural sheen, feels smooth yet slightly textured, and makes a rustling sound when handled. Our Kanchipuram sarees come with silk mark certification where available. The burn test is reliable: real silk burns slowly with a hair-like smell and leaves ash residue, while synthetic melts into a hard bead.

What is a Kanchipuram silk saree?

Kanchipuram (also called Kanjivaram) silk sarees originate from the temple town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, India. They're distinguished by their heavy pure mulberry silk fabric, real gold or silver zari borders, and the unique technique where the body and border are woven separately and interlocked. These sarees are considered the finest bridal silk sarees in India.

How do I care for my silk saree?

Always dry clean silk sarees to preserve the fabric and zari work. Store in a cool, dry place wrapped in soft muslin cloth, not plastic. Refold every few months along different crease lines to prevent permanent marks. Keep silica gel packets nearby to absorb moisture, and store away from direct sunlight.

What occasions are silk sarees worn for?

Silk sarees are traditional attire for weddings (both as bridal wear and guest attire), religious ceremonies, festivals like Diwali and Pongal, formal events, and special family celebrations. Kanchipuram sarees are particularly cherished for South Indian weddings and are often passed down through generations as family heirlooms.

Do you ship silk sarees to all of Australia?

Yes! We offer Australia-wide shipping to all states and territories including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional areas. Orders are carefully packaged to ensure your saree arrives in perfect condition. Express shipping options are available for urgent requirements.

How do I choose the right silk saree colour?

Traditional colours like red, maroon, and gold are popular for weddings and auspicious occasions. Consider your skin tone, the event type, and existing jewellery. Brides often choose red, maroon, or orange. For other occasions, jewel tones like emerald green, royal blue, and magenta are elegant choices. We're happy to help you choose if you contact us.

We do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind. If you receive a faulty item, please report it to us immediately and we will exchange it for another product within 5-7 days.
