How to choose the right handloom cotton saree

Handloom cotton sarees are a timeless blend of tradition and everyday elegance. But with so many options out there, how do you pick the one that’s just right for you? Here’s a quick guide:


1. Check the Fabric Feel

Genuine handloom cotton feels slightly coarse at first but softens beautifully with every wash. It should feel breathable, not flimsy.


2. Choose the Right Weave for the Occasion

Khadi Cotton – Ideal for everyday wear and a minimalist look

Chettinad Cotton – Bold, vibrant, perfect for semi-formal settings

Chanderi Cotton – Soft sheen, great for festive events

Jamdhani – Artistic, perfect for special occasions


3. Look for Handwoven Details

Irregularities in the weave? That’s a good sign! It means it’s handloom, not machine-made.


4. Pick Colors That Suit You

Earthy tones for subtle grace, vibrant contrasts for a bolder statement. Match with your skin tone and personality.
