How to Care for Your Banarasi Suits: Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Elegance
Banarasi suits are timeless treasures, known for their intricate weaves, luxurious fabrics, and cultural richness. Whether it’s a cotton Banarasi for everyday elegance or a silk masterpiece for festive occasions, proper care is essential to maintain the beauty and longevity of your outfit. Here are some easy and effective maintenance tips to keep your Banarasi suits looking stunning for years.
1. Dry Clean Only (For Silk or Heavily Woven Pieces)
Banarasi suits, especially those with zari, silk, or resham work, should ideally be dry cleaned. Avoid home washing, as it may damage the delicate fibers and embellishments.
2. Gentle Hand Wash (For Cotton Banarasi Suits)
For lighter, cotton-based Banarasi suits, you may opt for a gentle hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Do not wring the fabric. Dry in shade to prevent color fading.
3. Ironing with Care
Always iron on the reverse side or place a thin cotton cloth on top of the suit while ironing. Avoid direct heat on zari or embroidered areas to prevent dullness or burns.
4. Proper Storage
Store Banarasi suits in a cool, dry place. Use muslin or cotton bags instead of plastic to allow the fabric to breathe. Fold them neatly and avoid hanging heavy suits for long durations, as it can distort their shape.
5. Avoid Perfumes & Sprays Directly on Fabric
Fragrances and sprays may contain alcohol, which can react with zari or dyes. Apply perfume before dressing to avoid contact with the fabric.
Conclusion
Banarasi suits are not just outfits—they’re heirlooms. With a little attention and care, you can preserve their charm and wear them with pride across generations.
