Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hand‑batik and machine‑printed batik?

Hand‑batik involves applying wax by hand to create resist patterns before dyeing, resulting in unique, slightly irregular designs. Machine‑printed batik replicates patterns uniformly, lacking the artisanal charm of hand‑crafted pieces.

Can I wear this saree in the monsoon season?

Yes. The 100% cotton fabric is breathable and dries quickly. However, avoid heavy rain exposure; gently pat dry and store in a dry place.
