Q: How should I care for this handloom Kanchipuram silk saree?
A: To maintain the richness and longevity of your pure Kanchipuram silk saree, we strongly recommend professional dry cleaning only. For storage, fold it carefully with butter paper or acid-free tissue between the folds, and keep it in a cool, dry place wrapped in a soft cotton cloth, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid hanging silk sarees for extended periods to prevent stress on the fabric.
Q: What makes this a 'Kanchipuram' silk saree?
A: This saree is a true Kanchipuram silk due to its heavy, pure mulberry silk body, intricate gold zari work, and the characteristic contrasting border and pallu woven separately and then interlocked with the body. The traditional motifs, like the diamond lattice and peacocks, along with the dense weave, are hallmarks of authentic Kanchipuram craftsmanship from the Kanchi region, a heritage Shanthi Tailors proudly upholds.
