Our sarees are typically 5.5 metres long with a 0.8-metre blouse piece. Some come at 6.3 metres without a separate blouse piece. Check the product page for exact measurements.

Most of our sarees include an unstitched blouse piece. The product page clearly mentions if one is included. If it says 'without blouse,' only the saree is shipped.

Fold it along the length and wrap in a soft muslin cloth. Store flat in a dry cupboard. Refold every few months to avoid crease marks on the fabric.

Assamese craft traditions include Muga silk weaving, cane and bamboo work, bell metal casting, pottery, and wood carving. Muga silk is exclusive to Assam. a golden silk that improves in sheen with each wash.

Each Assamese craft has specialist communities. Muga silk weavers rear silkworms on som trees and weave on traditional looms. Bamboo workers split and weave cane. Bell metal casters use lost-wax technique with local alloys.

Look for minor variations in shape, color, or pattern. Machine-made products look perfectly uniform. Handmade Digital Print pieces carry the maker's touch in every small detail.

Every piece is made by hand, one at a time. Slight differences in material, pressure, and technique make each one unique. That's what separates handcraft from factory output.

Handle gently. Keep dry and clean. Specific care depends on the material. check the product page. Most pieces stay in excellent condition with regular dusting and gentle handling.

Silk cotton blends the smoothness of silk with cotton's breathability. It feels soft, mid-weight, and comfortable. The blend creates a gentle sheen without silk's full price.

Dry clean is safest for Silk Cotton. If hand washing, use cold water and a mild silk-specific detergent. Never wring. Roll in a towel to absorb moisture, then dry flat in shade.

Silk Cotton works across seasons. It feels cool in summer and retains warmth in winter. The natural temperature regulation of silk makes it comfortable year-round in Indian climates.

Silk production is labour-intensive. from rearing silkworms to reeling the thread. Silk Cotton involves additional regional techniques that add time and skill. The price reflects the material and the maker's effort.
