Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know the saree is authentic hand-painted Pen Kalamkari?
Authentic Pen Kalamkari shows natural dye penetration on the reverse side of the fabric, subtle hand-drawn line variations, and a mild natural earthy aroma from the milk and nut wash. Screen prints have flat white backs and chemical smells.
