Telia Rumal Sarees
If you have been comparing handloom sarees online and still feel unsure about what you are actually getting, here is a straight answer. A genuine telia rumal saree looks identical on both sides of the fabric. That is not a styling detail. That is the result of dyeing every single thread before it goes on the loom. It is called double ikat and very few weavers in India still practice it.
Every piece here is sourced directly from handloom weavers in Puttapaka, Telangana and the GI-tagged home of this weave. No middlemen, no power loom and no prints. What you see is what comes off the loom.
-
Pure Silk Mark certified on all silk pattu sarees, a government-backed assurance that the fabric is exactly what it claims to be
-
Cotton pieces woven in mercerized cotton that give the cloth a natural sheen and making it softer and stronger than regular handloom cotton
-
Matching blouse fabric included with every saree, cut from the same cloth
-
Slight irregularities in the weave are not flaws. That is what a genuinely handwoven piece looks like. No two are exactly alike
What Sets Telia Rumal Sarees Apart
The Best Telia Rumal for You
Cotton pieces are comfortable for daily wear, office and warm weather. Silk pattu pieces are suited for weddings, festivals and occasions where the saree needs to carry the room on its own.
Flip the saree. On a real double ikat the pattern is equally sharp on both sides of the fabric. A printed saree will look faded or blurred on the reverse.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Telia Rumal Sarees
How do I know this is a genuine double ikat and not a printed imitation?
What does the Pure Silk Mark on the pattu sarees mean?
It is a certification issued by the Central Silk Board of India that confirms the saree is made from pure silk. It is your assurance that what you are buying is an original piece.
Does the saree come with blouse fabric?
Yes. Every saree in this collection includes matching blouse fabric cut from the same cloth.
Can the cotton telia rumal be worn regularly?
Yes. It washes well, gets softer and sits comfortably through warm weather. The mercerized cotton used here holds up better than most regular handloom cotton you will find at this price point.
How do I wash it at home?
Cotton: cold water, mild detergent, hand wash, dry in shade. Silk pattu: dry clean only. Do not wring either.
