Sarees: The everlasting identity of Indian women

Go to any corner of the world, there would be no one who cannot identify an Indian woman sporting a saree. This quintessential Indian garment has come a long way, from being manually hand woven and dyed to having contemporary printed saree designs that marry the best of Indian traditional motifs and Western design aesthetics.

Even though many young women consider the saree a garment solely for special events, it has remained a must-have in every fashion-conscious woman’s wardrobe, along with Western wear like women's tops, jeans and leggings. With increasing exposure to contemporary design trends, the Indian saree market is seeing a balanced demand for Indo-Western saree styles and timeless classical designs. This is in addition to the consistent demand for women kurtas which are the go-to ethnic wear garments for a quick fashion fix.

Care and Maintenance for Women saree

You can care for your sarees just as you do for your other clothes. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

1. Storage: Store your sarees in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent colour fading and fabric damage.
2. Washing: Always follow the care instructions provided with your saree. Handwashing in lukewarm water with a mild detergent is generally recommended. Avoid wringing the fabric and instead gently squeeze out excess water.
3. Drying: Hang your sarees on a padded hanger or spread them flat to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight and harsh drying methods like machine drying, as they can cause shrinkage and damage to the fabric.
4. Ironing: Use a low to medium heat setting while ironing to avoid burning the fabric. If you have a saree with intricate embellishments, iron the saree on the reverse side to prevent any damage to it. 
5. Stain Removal: Treat stains promptly by dabbing them gently with a mild stain remover or a mixture of water and mild soap. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as it can damage the saree.
