Frequently Asked Questions

What is a designer saree?

At MAYIN, a designer saree is one where the surface work is the design: hand painting, hand embroidery, embroidery, sequins or zari. Each is designed in house and finished in small batches; it is not a celebrity label.

Which designer saree suits a party?

Hand embroidered chiffon such as Vintage Wine, or sequins on mul cotton such as Blue De France, catch evening light without weighing you down. Keep jewellery simple so the work shows.

Which designer saree should I wear to a wedding?

For a reception, a hand embroidered chiffon in maroon or pink works well. For a haldi or day ceremony, a tissue saree with embroidery and zari, such as Miss Earth, reads festive in daylight.

What is the difference between hand painted and hand embroidered sarees?

A hand painted saree has its design painted on with a brush, so it stays flat and soft. A hand embroidered saree has the design stitched on by hand, which adds a little texture and shine.

Is a designer chiffon saree heavy?

No. Chiffon is one of the lightest saree fabrics, and the hand painting or embroidery adds very little weight, so it is comfortable through a long evening.

How should I care for a designer saree?

Dry clean every saree in this edit, as the painting, embroidery, sequins and zari need gentle handling. Store it folded in a cotton bag, away from damp.

Do designer sarees come with a blouse piece?

Our chiffon sarees come with a 1 m crepe blouse piece, and mul cotton comes without one. For tissue and jamdani, check the product page.
