Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Baluchari silk stole?

Q: What occasions is a Baluchari silk stole suited for?
A: It is ideal for Bengali weddings, Durga Puja, Diwali, Navratri, classical music and dance performances, cultural galas, and literary events. It is also a meaningful gift for Raksha Bandhan, Karva Chauth, and the Indian wedding season — for both men and women who appreciate handloom craft.

A: Women can drape it over a saree, salwar, or ethnic outfit to add a layer of handloom texture and narrative detail. Men can fold it lengthwise and drape over a kurta or sherwani for weddings and formal cultural occasions. It also makes a beautiful wall display for textile collectors.
Q: How do I care for a pure silk Baluchari stole?
A: Dry clean only to protect both the pure silk base and the woven narrative motifs. Store folded in a soft muslin cloth in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or hand wash — the silk weave and woven figures require professional care to maintain their lustre and integrity.
