Preserve Your Banarasi Sarees
A handwoven Banarasi saree is so much more than a piece of clothing. It is a sentiment that we preserve and celebrate each time we drape it. Here are a few tips and tricks to preserve your Banarasi weave so that it stays as ravishing as ever!
Handloom Banarasi sarees must
be dry-cleaned only, and that too
only when necessary
No naphthalene balls or other
chemicals must be placed in
Always store them in a
cotton/muslin cloth, and keep
them away from other fabrics
Avoid perfumes and fragrances
over the saree, it may stain the
fabric or zari
A big ‘NO’ to metal hangers as
they may cause cuts and creases
Fold the saree's front weave
inwards while folding it to
preserve its design and zari
Place newspaper in folds
to avoid creases & wrinkles
When not in use, unfold and
refold the saree every 4-6 months
to avoid cuts
Always put the saree underneath
a cotton cloth while ironing
Always store in a cool & dry
place, away from dust & sunlight
