A guide to saree fabrics

The fabric decides how a saree falls, how it feels after a long day and where you’ll want to wear it. Here is how the fabrics in our range differ.

Silk

Silk has weight and a natural sheen, and it holds a crisp pleat. It is the classic choice for weddings and festivals. Silk blends keep much of that look at a lighter weight and price; we always say when a saree is a blend.

Georgette and chiffon

Both are light and fluid and drape close to the body. Georgette has a slightly grainy feel and more body; chiffon is sheerer and softer. They are easy to carry through a long evening.

Crepe

Crepe has a soft, pebbled texture that resists creasing, which makes it a quiet favourite for travel and office wear.

Cotton and linen

Breathable and comfortable in Indian summers. They hold structure well and soften with every wash.

Satin

Smooth and lustrous with a rich fall, satin suits evening events and receptions.
