A genuine Pochampally Ikat saree has three distinct characteristics: (1) the design appears on both sides of the fabric since the yarn is dyed before weaving (double ikat technique), (2) the geometric patterns may show a natural slight blur or "bleeding" at the edges — this is a mark of authenticity, not a defect, and (3) the texture feels crisp yet supple. At Sri Manisha Sarees, all Pochampally Ikat sarees come from weavers in Bhoodan Pochampally, Nalgonda district — the GI-tagged origin of this craft.

Proper care extends the life and lustre of your handloom silk saree significantly. Follow these guidelines: (1) Dry clean Kanchivaram and Banarasi Katan silk sarees for the first few washes (2) For Pochampally silk sarees, use cold water with mild fabric shampoo and wash separately to prevent colour bleeding (3) Never wring or tumble-dry silk — gently squeeze out water and dry flat in the shade (4) Store sarees in muslin cloth (not plastic) with a dried neem leaf to prevent pest damage (5) Iron on the reverse side at low heat For our cotton sarees, machine wash in a gentle cycle is acceptable after the first wash.
