Garment Care

At Vadhini, every garment is thoughtfully crafted using carefully selected fabrics, intricate detailing, and refined craftsmanship. Proper care and maintenance are essential to preserve the beauty, texture, color, and longevity of your sarees and garments.

We recommend following the care instructions below to ensure your pieces remain timeless additions to your wardrobe for years to come.

Dry Clean Recommended

For most sarees and delicate garments, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended.

Dry cleaning helps:

  • Maintain fabric texture and softness
  • Preserve embroidery, embellishments, and prints
  • Prevent color bleeding or shrinkage
  • Extend the life of delicate fabrics

Avoid frequent home washing for heavily detailed or embellished pieces.

Washing Instructions

If hand washing is necessary for lightweight or minimally detailed garments:

  • Use cold water only
  • Use mild liquid detergent
  • Wash gently without scrubbing or twisting
  • Do not soak the garment for long periods
  • Wash dark and light colors separately

Avoid:

  • Bleach or harsh chemicals
  • Hot water
  • Machine washing delicate fabrics

Improper washing may damage the fabric, embroidery, or color finish.

Drying Instructions

  • Always dry garments in shade
  • Avoid direct sunlight exposure for extended periods, as it may cause fading
  • Do not wring delicate fabrics aggressively
  • Lay lightweight garments flat while drying whenever possible

Proper drying helps maintain the drape and richness of the fabric.

Ironing Instructions

  • Use low to medium heat while ironing
  • Prefer steam ironing for delicate fabrics
  • Always iron embroidered or embellished garments on the reverse side
  • Place a cotton cloth over delicate fabrics while ironing to avoid direct heat damage

Excessive heat may weaken fibers or damage embellishments.

Storage Tips

To maintain garment quality:

  • Store sarees in a cool, dry place
  • Keep garments away from moisture and humidity
  • Fold sarees neatly and refold them occasionally to avoid permanent creases
  • Use muslin or cotton fabric bags for long-term storage
  • Avoid hanging heavily embroidered sarees for long durations, as this may affect the fabric fall

Proper storage significantly increases garment life.

Perfume & Chemical Exposure

Avoid spraying perfume, deodorant, or other chemicals directly onto the fabric, as it may:

  • Cause discoloration
  • Affect embellishments and embroidery
  • Leave permanent stains on delicate fabrics

Always apply fragrances before wearing the garment.

Handcrafted Product Disclaimer

Many Vadhini pieces are crafted with artisanal techniques and handcrafted detailing. Slight irregularities in:

  • Weaving
  • Embroidery
  • Print placement
  • Texture variations

are natural characteristics of handcrafted garments and should not be considered defects. These details add uniqueness and authenticity to every piece.

Special Care for Delicate Fabrics

Fabrics such as organza, tissue, chiffon, silk, georgette, and embellished materials require extra care and gentle handling.

Avoid:

  • Sharp accessories snagging the fabric
  • Excessive friction
  • Rough handling during draping or storage

Treat delicate garments with care to preserve their elegance and finish.

With proper care, your Vadhini garments will continue to reflect timeless elegance, beauty, and sophistication for years to come

Luxury should breathe.

Most traditional drapes sit in a box 360 days a year because they’re heavy, stiff, and exhausting to wear all day.

We started Vadhini to change that. We work exclusively with premium linen to create sarees that feel as easy and breathable as a casual dress, without losing an ounce of grace.

Linen is honest. It doesn’t pretend to be smooth or shiny. It has a raw texture, a natural drape that needs zero starch, and a weave that actually gets softer every time you wear it.

We keep our designs minimal so the fabric can speak for itself. From morning boardrooms to casual dinners, these are sarees made to live your entire day in - with zero fuss.
