Q: What is Chanderi? A: Chanderi is a lightweight Indian fabric valued for its soft drape, subtle sheen, and airy feel. It is often chosen for occasions when you want the elegance of a dressier saree without heavy weight. Q: Are these Chanderi sarees handwoven or block-printed? A: This collection includes both handwoven Chanderi cotton sarees and Chanderi sarees with block-printed designs. Each product title and details explain the exact fabric, weave, and design method. Q: What is zari work? A: Zari is fine metallic thread used in borders, butis, and decorative accents. It gives the saree a subtle gold or silver shimmer, especially in natural light. Q: Why can the colour, print, or zari detail vary slightly? A: Handwoven texture, block-print placement, dye batches, and zari detailing can vary a little from one saree to another. Screen settings and lighting can also affect how colour appears. Q: How should I care for a Chanderi saree? A: Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent and dry in shade. Avoid bleach, vigorous wringing, and long soaking. For sarees with zari, iron on a low setting from the reverse side with a thin cloth over the border. Q: Is Chanderi suitable for festive as well as everyday wear? A: Yes. Its lightweight drape makes it comfortable for daytime wear, while block prints and zari borders give many pieces a more festive finish. Q: Is a blouse piece included? A: Each saree's product details confirm whether a blouse piece is included.
