Care Instructions
To preserve the natural fibers and the brilliance of the gold kasavu:
-
First Wash: Dry cleaning is recommended for the initial wash to set the colors and protect the zari work.
-
Subsequent Care: Use a gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent.
-
Drying: Always dry in the shade to prevent the cream fabric from yellowing and the red tones from fading.
-
Maintenance: A light starch can be applied to maintain the saree's characteristic crispness and elegant drape.
