Frequently Asked Questions

How do I identify a genuine handloom saree?

Look for small irregularities in the weave and a slightly uneven selvedge. Perfectly uniform fabric with no variation is usually powerloom.

Are handloom sarees good for daily wear?

Yes. Handloom cotton is breathable, durable, and gets softer with each wash, which makes it well suited to everyday use.

What is the difference between handloom and handwoven?

They describe the same thing, cloth woven on a loom operated by hand rather than powered by machine.

How should I wash a handloom cotton saree?

Hand wash separately in cold water with mild detergent for the first few washes, dry in shade, and iron on medium heat while slightly damp.

What is a handloom saree?

A saree woven on a loom worked by hand and foot, without electric power. Under India's Handlooms Act of 1985, any loom other than a powerloom is a handloom.

Is handloom better than powerloom?

Handloom is softer, breathes better and supports skilled weavers. Powerloom is cheaper and more uniform.

What is the Handloom Mark?

A label launched in 2006 and run by the Textiles Committee that certifies a product is handwoven.

Woven by Hand, Not by Machine

A handloom saree carries something a powerloom cannot reproduce. The weave is slightly looser, the selvedge a little uneven, and the fabric moves more freely against the body because of it. Our handloom collection spans pure mul cotton and pure linen, woven on traditional looms and finished to be worn often rather than saved for occasions.

The Weaves We Work With

Our mul cotton handloom sarees make up the heart of this collection, soft, breathable, and better with every wash. For a crisper hold and more structure, our handloom linen sarees drape with a defined fall that holds its shape through a long day. Many of these carry a fine zari border, woven into the same pass as the body rather than applied afterwards. For every cotton weave we make, see our pure cotton sarees.

Patterns Across the Collection

Stripes are the largest single pattern in our handloom range, and our striped sarees run from fine pinstripes to bolder multicolour lines. Alongside them sit plain solid weaves with woven borders, floral motifs, and checked handlooms. Plain and striped handloom cotton works particularly well as office wear, while bordered and floral pieces carry into festive daywear.

For heritage looks in jamdani, zari and red and white borders, see our traditional sarees.

Why Handloom Still Matters

Handloom weaving supports generations of artisan skill that machine production has steadily displaced. Choosing a handwoven saree means a weaver's hours behind every metre, and a piece with genuine variation rather than uniform output. It also means a fabric that ages well, softening rather than wearing thin.
