Handloom sarees cost more than powerloom sarees, because each piece takes longer to weave by hand.

Prices are indicative and based on sarees currently in stock. Price data last updated: 19th October 2026.

How Cotton Sarees Are Woven

Cotton sarees are woven from natural cotton yarn. Cotton lets air pass through and soaks up sweat. This is why it stays cool in Indian summers.

Handloom sarees are woven by hand on a wooden loom. They have small, natural variations in the weave. Powerloom sarees are woven on machines. They look more even and cost less. Check the product page to see if a saree is handloom.

Yarn count also matters. A higher count means finer yarn and a softer, lighter saree. A lower count gives a thicker, stronger saree for daily use.

How to Identify a Pure Cotton Saree

  • Feel: Pure cotton feels soft, dry and a little matte. Blends with polyester feel slippery or shiny.
  • Crease test: Crush a corner in your hand. Pure cotton creases easily.
  • Burn test: Burn one loose thread with care. Cotton burns like paper and leaves soft grey ash. Synthetic thread melts into a hard bead.
  • Border: A woven border lasts longer than a printed or stitched one.
  • Label: Check the product page for "100% cotton" or "cotton blend".

Before you buy, check the fabric, weave (handloom or powerloom), saree length, blouse piece, care details and exchange policy.

Cotton vs Silk Cotton vs Linen Cotton

Fabric Look and Feel Best For Care
Cotton Soft and matte Daily wear, office, summer Hand-wash
Silk Cotton Light with a soft shine Festivals, family events Gentle hand-wash or dry clean
Linen Cotton Textured and modern Office, casual wear Hand-wash; creases more

How to Care for Cotton Sarees

  • First wash: Hand-wash it alone in cold water. Some colour may bleed. A little shrinkage is normal.
  • Regular wash: Use a mild detergent. Do not wring the saree.
  • Drying: Dry in shade to keep the colour bright.
  • Ironing: Iron on medium heat while slightly damp. Use light starch for a crisp look.
  • Storage: Wrap in a cotton or muslin cloth. Refold every few months.
  • Zari sarees: Dry clean sarees with heavy zari or embroidery.
