For every bride, the wedding attire holds a special spot in her heart. It is not just a testament to new beginnings but a reminder of all the glorious memories from her special day. And, when it is a Kanjeevaram saree, it is all the more reason to ensure that the memories and the saree are preserved beautifully.
How to Preserve Your Kanjeevaram Saree?
A Kanjeevaram saree is more than just a piece of apparel; it symbolises culture, Indian craftsmanship, and feminine allure. What truly makes the latest Kanjeevaram sarees special is the expertise, hard work and love that goes into making this masterpiece. It is hand-woven by skilled weavers, often adorned with precious metal threads to create stunning motifs and intricate patterns, suitable for celebratory occasions such as weddings. The vibrant colours and radiant sheen of the silk offer a resplendent appearance to the Kanjeevaram and must be restored through various techniques.
Most brides want to restore their wedding attire to pass it on as a family heirloom or re-wear it on a special occasion, and if it is a Kanjeevaram latest saree, you need to be extra cautious with the cleaning and storing process.
Silk is a sturdy but delicate fabric. Therefore, you need to put in extra effort if you want to keep it in pristine condition over the years.
Tips to Preserve Your Kanjeevaram Saree in Pristine Condition
- After your wedding day, it is recommended to get your Kanjeevaram saree professionally dry-cleaned. Check the saree for any marks or spots that might need special attention and emphasise that to the dry cleaner. Be extra cautious when picking an expert dry cleaner and elaborate on the delicate nature of the saree.
- Once the saree is dry cleaned, store it in an unbleached cotton or muslin cloth bag, away from direct heat or light in a dry and dark spot. You can also add a couple of moisture-absorbing gel packets to get rid of any trapped moisture pockets.
- To prevent the colour from fading and transferring, add acid-free tissue paper between the folds.
- Airing out your Kanjeevaram saree is a non-negotiable step to maintain its true essence. Every 3-4 months, take out your saree from storage, unfold it and place it in a clean, dry spot, away from direct sunlight and heat to breathe. Allow it to breathe for a few hours before putting it back.
