Kancheepuram is world famous for Beautiful Collection of Silk Sarees- for its sheer variety of designs, weaving and quality. Every Kancheepuram Silk Saree is weaved with the most superior silks in the world. The glamour of the Kancheepuram silk saree lies in its color contrasts. Pyramidical temple borders, checks, stripes and floral “buttas” are traditional designs you will find in a Kancheepuram saree.
Tips for Buying silk sarees: 1. Check the weight – the heavier the silk, the longer it will last.
2. If there is zari work, ask if the zari is pure. Imitation zari will turn black in a couple of years.
3. The best way of checking for purity of silk is to take a few threads and burn them. Pure silk will clot and leave a black powdery residue – not to be confused with ash.
