Shopping for a saree
How can I tell a handloom saree from a powerloom saree?
Handloom sarees have small irregularities in the weave — slight variations in zari tension, minor asymmetries in repeating motifs — that come from being woven by hand on a pit loom, unlike the perfectly uniform output of a powerloom. Every saree at Sohum Sutras is sourced directly from weaver families, with no powerloom substitutes.
What should I buy for Indian wedding shopping?
It depends on the occasion within the wedding. Banarasi silk and Kanjeewaram are traditional choices for the main ceremony given their weight, zari work and heirloom quality; Patan Patola is a rare, prestigious choice reserved for the most important functions; lighter Silk Chanderi or Mushroo silk sarees and unstitched suit sets work well for pre-wedding functions like mehendi or sangeet.
Do sarees come with a blouse piece?
Most sarees include a matching or contrast blouse piece — this is noted on every individual product page along with the blouse length. Where a blouse is not included, that is stated clearly as well.
How do I place an order or ask a question before buying?
