How to Identify Pure Silk Kanjivaram Sarees: A Guide by Ratan Silk Sarees

• Introduction: The Timeless Elegance of Kanjivaram Silk Sarees

  Kanjivaram silk sarees are the crown jewel of South Indian textiles, celebrated for their vibrant colors, intricate designs, and luxurious texture. Known for their unmatched elegance, these sarees are a favorite for weddings, festivals, and special occasions. But with the rising popularity of Kanjivaram sarees, identifying pure silk variants has become crucial to ensure authenticity and value. At Ratan Silk Sarees, with over 40 years of expertise in curating authentic Indian silk sarees, we guide you on how to identify genuine Kanjivaram silk sarees.
  

  1. What Makes Kanjivaram Silk Sarees Special?

  Kanjivaram silk sarees / Kanchi Pattu sarees originate from the town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu. They are handwoven using premium mulberry silk threads and feature intricate designs inspired by temples, nature, and mythology. These sarees are known for:

  • Rich Texture: Made from high-quality silk threads for a luxurious feel.

  • Contrasting Borders: Bold borders with intricate zari work.

  • Durability: Pure Kanjivaram sarees are heavier and more durable due to their dense weaving technique.
    

  2. How to Identify Pure Silk Kanjivaram Sarees?

  a) Look for the Silk Mark Certification

  The easiest way to ensure authenticity is to check for the Silk Mark certification, which guarantees that the saree is made from pure silk. At Ratan Silk Sarees, we are diligently working towards incorporating Silk Mark certification across all our Kanjivaram sarees to provide you with added assurance.

  b) Examine the Texture

  Pure Kanjivaram silk sarees have a smooth and lustrous texture. Run your fingers across the fabric; it should feel soft yet firm due to the high-quality silk threads used in weaving.

  c) Check the Weight

  Authentic Kanjivaram sarees are heavier compared to other silk sarees because of their dense weaving technique and high-quality zari work. If the saree feels unusually light, it may not be pure.

  d) Inspect the Zari Work

  The zari (gold or silver thread) used in pure Kanjivaram sarees is authentic and intricately woven into the fabric. Genuine zari threads are made by wrapping gold or silver around a silk core. Fake zari often uses plastic or synthetic materials.

  e) Burn Test

  While not recommended for purchased products, a small thread from the edge can be burned to check authenticity. Pure silk burns slowly and leaves behind ash with a burnt hair smell, while synthetic fibers melt and form lumps.

  f) Observe the Borders

  Kanjivaram sarees/ Pattu sarees feature contrasting borders that are woven separately and attached using a unique technique called korvai. This ensures durability and adds to the uniqueness of each piece.
