Gira | Paithani Saree

• Blouse is available as running fabric, contrasting to the saree

• Paithani sarees originate from the town of Paithan near Aurangabad, and are characterised by the borders and the distinctive motifs which are typical to this region and said to be inspired from the nearby Ajanta caves. From the dyeing of the yarn to the weaving the saree, they are created by hand, and have a history which goes back to the 17th century.

Dry clean only. To protect the delicate threads of the sari, please avoid any pressure on the tips- avoid brush cleaning, or wringing. Iron on medium heat or spread a towel on top of the saree during ironing. Steam iron is recommended. It is ideal to dry clean stained silk sarees immediately. Unfold and change the fold of the silk sarees from time to time. This will help avoid tears and damage along the creases. Store your silk sarees by wrapping them in soft muslin clothes or fabric saree
