Frequently Asked Questions

What is crushed silk?

Crushed silk is a silk fabric that has been treated or woven to create a permanent crinkle or textured surface. This gives the fabric a distinctive light-catching quality — the irregular surface reflects light at different angles, creating a soft, dimensional shimmer. It is also more forgiving of minor creasing during wear.

What is zari?

Zari refers to fine metallic thread — traditionally gold or silver — used in Indian textile weaving and embroidery. In Banarasi weaving, zari is woven directly into the fabric to create motifs, borders, or an all-over shimmer. The quality and proportion of zari significantly affects the weight, drape, and lustre of the saree.

Does Saanjh come with a blouse piece?

Yes, Saanjh comes with a blouse piece.

How should I care for a crushed silk saree?

Dry clean only. The crushed texture is part of the fabric's character and does not need to be ironed flat. Store folded in a soft muslin cloth away from direct sunlight and moisture.
