The photographs on the website are shot with care using the best cameras to give the most accurate look.

If you have any doubts, please feel free to request us for additional photos in indoor lights. However for indoor pictures, multiple factors such as angle of photograph, type of light (white, yellow or natural), composition of the fabric effect the colours as captured in the photographs, which may occasionally  result in minor variations.

We recommend that you dry clean your saree only when necessary. You must air your saree from time to time and refold regularly to avoid creasing at the same location over an extended period of time.

It is also advisable to store sarees in a breathable, uncoloured, muslin cloth in a dry location. Avoid exposure to moisture as it may damage the saree or the zari. Also avoid ironing directly on the zari and any direct contact with perfume.

    The design making and weaving process for products is quite involved and time consuming. It often requires months of planning and inputs from several of our highly skilled experts.
