2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – Brief History

The Mysore viscose saree traces its roots to the royal courts of the Wodeyar dynasty in Karnataka, where silk and fine weaves symbolized grace and grandeur. Over time, artisans adapted these traditions to create more accessible yet equally elegant viscose variants—retaining the opulence without compromising comfort.

At Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi, we honor this legacy by collaborating directly with third-generation hand embroiderers from Tamil Nadu’s Karaikudi and Mysuru regions. Each stitch reflects decades of inherited skill, passed down through families who believe embroidery is not just craft—but prayer in thread.

Our heavy hand embroidery technique avoids synthetic zari, using eco-friendly metallic threads that shimmer without harming skin or environment—making heritage fashion truly sustainable.

4. Wash & Care Instructions

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your Mysore Viscose Heavy Hand Embroidery Saree:

• 🧴 Wash Method: Hand wash only using mild shampoo or gentle liquid detergent (avoid harsh soaps)
• 💧 Rinse: Use cold water; do not soak for more than 5 minutes
• ☂️ Drying: Dry in shade only – never expose directly to sunlight, as UV rays can fade embroidery and weaken fibers
• 🚫 Avoid: Bleach, wringing, tumble drying, or ironing directly on embroidery (use a cotton cloth barrier if needed)
• 🧵 Storage: Fold neatly with muslin cloth; store in a dry, cool place with neem leaves to deter moths

Pro Tip: Steam lightly before wearing to restore natural drape without damaging delicate threads.
