The most comfortable wear to work can be discovered when you drape this pure cotton from the land of Karaikudi. This is a typical chettinad cotton which has small checks on the body of the saree with broad border or double border that is simply exquisite and is inspired from Kanchipuram weaves. Generally chettinad cottons are very simple sarees but very elegant ones. The rapid change in the taste of consumers has led the weavers to draw inspiration from the Kanchipuram saree motifs and borders. Generally the pallu of Chettinad sarees are simple with lines unlike the granduer pallu of Kanchi cotton sarees. The pallu of this saree can be seen in the third picture. The border of the saree is a double decker with arai maadam, rudraksham and simple gopuram at the top and a jacquard border with Hamsa (annam) at regular intervals.
The last picture will give you an idea of how this saree will look draped. The saree seen in this picture is not available.

Almost all saree’s tend to bleed colors initially, so before washing your saree’s with mild detergents, it is always good to soak them in normal water with rock salt for some time.
Remember saree’s are delicate so no matter what the stain is please do not use brush to scrub or soak / wash in hot water.
Use mild soap or shampoo to wash the saree. Do not soak the saree in any kind of detergent, do not use bleach and do not wash it in washing machine, unless mentioned specifically.Do not wring the water out of the saree. Hang it to dry in shade and not under direct sunlight.
Use medium heat iron. It is better to use a clean cotton cloth on top of the saree while ironing.
The above care holds good for any kind of saree be it a Handloom or Powerloom, Printed or Hand blocked or Painted, Hand Embroidery or Machine Embroidery.
All the saree’s need to be taken care of despite their origin of creation.
Happy Draping!!
