Tips to store and maintain Silk Sarees:

• Avoid piling up or stacking your saree on one another, hang them, instead, inside a cover. This will allow your saree to remain wrinkle-free. The reason is too much folding and piling up would form a lot of creases in the heavy sarees which can also result in the weakening of silk fibres
• Keep your silk sarees in a cool dark place to prevent them from discolouring and fading.
• Keep your partywear sarees away from any harsh chemicals, paints, or spray perfumes to avoid the degradation of the fabric.
