The Heirloom Promise — Preserving the Life of Your Crepe Silk Saree
A Saree Is Forever A pure Mysore Crepe Saree is not a seasonal purchase; it's an heirloom. It's the saree a mother passes down to her daughter, a memory woven in silk. However, this precious garment requires specific care. Unlike synthetic fabrics, pure silk is a natural protein fiber. Proper storage, washing, and maintenance are crucial to protect it from fading, tearing, or losing its natural sheen, ensuring it lasts for generations.
Challenges in Saree Care
-
Washing Disasters: Using harsh detergents, hot water, or a washing machine can irrevocably damage the silk fibers and zari.
-
Storage Issues: Storing sarees in plastic bags can cause moisture build-up and "zari oxidation" (turning the zari black), while hanging them can cause the fabric to stretch and tear.
-
Ironing Mistakes: Direct, high heat from an iron can scorch the delicate crepe or ruin its unique crinkled texture.
-
Color Fading: Sunlight exposure during drying or improper storage can lead to dulling and fading of the vibrant dyes.

Our Solution: The Turaja Care Guide We provide our customers with expert guidance on preserving their silk treasures.
-
Washing: We always recommend "dry clean only" for the first few washes. For subsequent washes, a gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild, silk-specific pH-neutral soap is best.
-
Drying: Never wring or twist the saree. Roll it in a soft towel to absorb water and dry it in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight.
-
Ironing: Place a cotton cloth over the saree and use a warm (not hot) iron. Never spray water while ironing, as it can leave marks.
-
Storage: The golden rule is to wrap your silk saree in a soft muslin or cotton cloth and store it flat in a cool, dark, and dry place.
