Are the products shown on website accurate?
Products on our website are handmade. We ensure that we photograph all our products under standard lighting conditions so that the product image you see is as close to the product. However, there may be minor variations in the colour of the fabric, dyes, prints or embroideries of the product image you see on your monitor / mobile phone screens / laptops etc. and the actual product. However, since these are mostly handloom products there could be very very minor changes. And we believe imperfection adds to the charm of handloom and handcrafted products.

Unfortunately we do not take preorders.
