Silk fiber has a very unique luster due to its natural structures which enhances reflection of light. The photographs on the website, shot by the best cameras, are taken outdoors in natural daylight and posted without any editing 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.

The zari that we use in most of our sarees is very high-grade metallic zari which has a very graceful luster. It’s not the artificial/imitation/plastic zari that is extremely shiny.
Sarees that are made of Real, Tested or pure silver zari will have it mentioned in the product description and these are usually priced higher, depending on the pattern and extent of zari work.

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 fold over an extended period of time. Kora sarees or fine Jamdanis can also be rolled for storage.
It is also advisable to store silk 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.
