How to Choose the Right Kalamkari Saree

Kalamkari comes in two styles: SriKalahasthi (freehand drawing) and Machilipatnam (block print). Both use natural dyes and multi-day processes. Tussar silk offers a lustrous drape for weddings or festivals, while cotton is lighter for everyday wear. Look for the artisan’s signature on the pallu to confirm authenticity.

Care and Styling Tips

Dry clean or hand wash gently in cold water, avoid strong detergents, and dry in shade. Store with a muslin cloth to protect the colors. Shipping usually takes 7-10 business days, depending on region. Pair with simple jewelry so the painted artwork stands out.
