Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between pure chanderi and poly chanderi?
Pure chanderi is woven from natural silk and cotton yarns and has a soft, airy feel. Poly chanderi uses polyester, so it is more affordable and easier to care for.

Is chanderi good for summer?
Yes. Chanderi is light and breathable, which makes it a favourite for summer kurtas and suits.

Is chanderi see-through?
It is slightly sheer, so kurtas are usually lined with cotton or satin.

How do I care for chanderi?
Dry clean pure chanderi. Poly chanderi can be gently hand washed in cold water.
