All TSC products are handcrafted from scratch, using the finest materials. The subtle variations in colour, texture and finish are intrinsic to hand made products. Our products involve crafts-based traditions of hand spinning, dyeing and weaving.
Care Instructions:
- Dry clean only.
- Store your Assam silk saree in the breathable cotton dustbag we provide with your purchase.
- Avoid exposure to moisture as zari tends to react to weather changes.
- Air your Assam silk saree from time to time and re-fold to avoid creasing at the same place for an extended period of time.
- Use dry iron when necessary, do not steam.
We use both natural/plant-based and azo-free commercial dyes with the goal of minimising our impact on the environment while striving for the best colour properties. An irregular weave is not a defect - handloom by definition means uncertainty when it comes to uniformity.
Disclaimer: Product colour may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor setting.
