2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – The Story Behind Chennuri Silk

The Chennuri Silk Saree traces its roots to the temple towns of Andhra Pradesh, where master weavers have preserved centuries-old techniques passed down through generations. Named after the village of Chennur, this silk tradition flourished under royal patronage during the Vijayanagara Empire, blending temple art with textile mastery.

Each saree is a tribute to India’s handloom heritage—woven on pit looms using pure mulberry silk and real zari threads. At Saree Story by Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi, we collaborate directly with these artisan families to revive and sustain this endangered craft, ensuring every drape carries authenticity, soul, and cultural pride.

4. Wash & Care Instructions

To preserve the luster, color, and integrity of your Chennuri Silk Saree:

• 🧼 Wash Care: Hand wash only using mild shampoo or liquid silk detergent in cold water.
• ☀️ Drying: Dry in shade only—never expose directly to sunlight to prevent zari tarnishing and color fading.
• 🧺 Ironing: Use low heat with a cotton cloth over the saree to protect zari and silk.
• 🗄️ Storage: Store folded in muslin cloth, away from moisture and naphthalene balls. Refold periodically to avoid crease damage.

Note: First wash may show slight color bleed—this is natural for hand-dyed silks and will stabilize thereafter.
