From Dharmavaram
Notes on Dharmavaram silk, choosing the right saree and looking after it.
Dharmavaram, in the Sri Sathya Sai district of Andhra Pradesh, is known across South India for its silk sarees: broad contrast borders, rich zari and heavily worked pallus that make them a favourite for weddings and festivals.
Dharmavaram handloom silk sarees carry a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, which recognises the weave as belonging to the region. Our store is here in Dharmavaram, and every order ships from here.
Shop Dharmavaram silk →A pure silk saree is woven from silk yarn. Semi silk and half silk sarees blend silk with other yarns, which makes them lighter to wear and kinder on the budget, while keeping much of the look.
Every product page states the fabric, so you can see which you are buying. If you are unsure, DM us or message us on WhatsApp before you order.

Sarees in our collection that are Silk Mark certified say so on their product page.
Read our FAQs →Dry clean silk sarees, especially those with zari. Store them folded in a cotton or muslin cloth, away from damp and direct sunlight, and refold them every few months so the creases do not set along the same lines.
Let perfume and deodorant dry before you drape, and air the saree in the shade after wearing it, before putting it away.
