How to Buy an Original Silk Saree Online: A Trustworthy Guide for Indian Shoppers

In India, silk sarees are more than just outfits — they are cultural treasures worn during weddings, pujas, and celebrations. But today, when you search “original silk saree online”, you’re bombarded with ads, discounts, and flashy claims.

So how do you know what’s real and what’s just marketed as real?

In this guide, we’ll help you understand how to confidently buy original silk sarees online in India — and why Dakshin Vastram is one of the most trusted names in handwoven silk.

 

🧵 What Do We Mean by “Original Silk Saree”?

An original silk saree is made from 100% natural silk yarns, most commonly:

Mulberry silk (used in Kanchipuram, Bishnupuri sarees)

Tussar silk

Muga or Eri silk (from Northeast India)

Unlike blends or art silk, original silk sarees are handwoven, breathable, and naturally lustrous.


Ways to Identify an Original Silk Saree Online

✔️ 1. Study the Fabric Description

Many sellers just write “silk” without clarifying if it’s pure, blended, or artificial.

You should see terms like:

Pure mulberry silk

Handwoven silk

Tussar silk

Avoid listings that say: “soft silk, fancy silk, designer silk” without real material details.


✔️ 2. Trust the Price Range

Original silk costs more because it’s handcrafted and made from natural fiber.

💡 Average price range of genuine silk sarees in India:

Simple handwoven: ₹4,500 – ₹9,000

Tussar/Kanchipuram: ₹7,000 – ₹25,000+

Designer handloom: ₹10,000+

If a website offers “pure silk sarees for ₹999,” it’s most likely not real silk.

 

✔️ 3. See Real Product Photos

Honest sellers show:

Sarees on mannequins or real people

Close-up shots of pallu, border, zari work

Minimal retouching

At Dakshin Vastram, we keep our photos simple and transparent — no over-glamour. What you see is what you receive.


✔️ 4. Check Customer Reviews & Policies

Genuine sellers will:

Offer 30-day returns or exchanges

Be reachable via email or phone

Never pressure with fake countdown timers or “limited stock” tactics
