Every Handloom Saree Tells a Story. Learn what makes them beautifully unique.
The Beauty of Handloom Sarees
No Two Handloom Sarees are ever alike!
Each saree is handwoven by skilled artisans, not mass-produced by machines. Because of this, natural weaving marks occur, which are signs of authenticity (not defects).
What Is Not a Defect (Normal Marks)
Warp And weft
✔️ Weft / Thari Marks
Thin straight lines created by wooden beams of the loom. They blend naturally into the saree.
Thread Knots
✔️ Slubs
Small bumps due to handspun yarn thickness.
Color gradient
✔️ Color Shading
Slight variations in dye that give depth and authenticity.
Jari Motifs
✔️ Irregular Motifs
Minor variations in zari placement prove it’s handcrafted.
What Is a Defect (Eligible for Exchange)
❌ Large holes or fabric tears
❌ Broken zari across multiple areas
❌ Heavy stains before purchase
❌ Weaving errors that affect the drape
Left: “Handloom Mark (Not Defect)” ✔
Right: “Actual Defect” ❌
Why We Don’t Accept Exchanges for Normal Marks
We believe imperfections are part of the saree’s story. These marks celebrate the artistry of weaving and make each piece one-of-a-kind.
