🎨 Colour & Fabric Disclaimer
We make every effort to display our products as accurately as possible. However, colours may appear slightly different depending on your mobile, monitor, screen brightness, display settings, and saturation.
We use original product photographs without filters or artificial effects to represent the products as naturally as possible. Minor colour variations caused by individual screen settings are therefore not considered product defects and are not eligible for return.
🧵 Handwoven & Natural Textile Characteristics
Our sarees and textiles are traditionally handwoven and may naturally have minor variations such as:
-
Slight irregularities in weaving
-
Minor variations in texture
-
Occasional loose threads
-
Small differences in motifs or weave patterns
-
Natural variations resulting from the handloom process
These characteristics are a natural part of handwoven textiles and add to their uniqueness. They are not considered defects and are not eligible for return or refund.
❤️ A Note About Handloom Craftsmanship
Every handwoven product carries the character of the artisan who created it. Small natural variations are part of the charm and authenticity of traditional handloom weaving.
If you are looking for a product with completely uniform, machine-made finishing and no natural weaving variations, we kindly request that you consider this before placing your order.
By purchasing from Vastraambika, you are supporting traditional weaving and the artisans who preserve this beautiful craft.
