Paithani silk sarees are timeless treasures, but the market is flooded with fakes. Don’t let a counterfeit crash your saree dreams! Here’s a handy guide to help you spot a real Paithani silk like a pro:
1. Weave Got a Problem?
Real Paithani silk sarees are handwoven with no loose threads at the back. If the backside is messier than your Monday morning, it’s a no-no! A genuine Paithani silk looks as gorgeous inside as it does outside.
2. Fabric-ate No Lies!
Authentic Paithani silk is made from pure silk and feels smooth, soft, and luxurious. If it feels like plastic or your last-minute online buys, it’s probably a knockoff.
3. Motif-ated to Check?
Peacock, lotus, parrots, and vines are classic Paithani silk motifs. If the design screams modern art gallery instead of traditional elegance, it’s not the real deal.
4. Zari or Sorry?
Real Paithani silk uses pure gold or silver threads in the zari. Fake ones use synthetic fibers that shine brighter than your phone screen at 2 AM. Pro tip: Rub the zari gently – if it fades faster than a summer tan, it’s fake!
5. Color Me Real!
Paithani silk sarees are famous for their stunning dual-tone effect. If the colors look as flat as your diet soda, it’s a red flag!
6. Heavy on Authenticity
An authentic Paithani silk has a comfortable weight due to the rich silk and zari. If it feels lighter than your excuses for skipping gym, it’s probably fake.
7. If It’s Cheap, It’s a Cheat!
A genuine Paithani silk is an investment. If the price feels too good to be true, it probably is!
