Crimson Heirloom Potli

Fabric: Premium silk brocade, raw silk, and Art silk with traditional weaving techniques

Embellishments:

• Hand-embroidered threadwork (selected styles)

• Metallic zari (gold/silver thread) weaving

Lining: Soft cotton or satin lining (select styles)

Closure: Traditional drawstring with tassel embellishments or button-snap (envelope styles)

Craftsmanship: Handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations

Cleaning:

• Dry clean only to preserve fabric integrity and embellishments

• Spot clean minor stains with a soft, damp cloth

• Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or machine washing

• Do not wring or twist the fabric

  
  

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading

• Keep in breathable cotton pouches or boxes (avoid plastic bags which trap moisture)

• Stuff lightly with acid-free tissue paper to maintain shape

• Store away from sharp objects that may snag delicate fabric

  
  

Handling:

• Handle with clean, dry hands to avoid oil transfer

• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, or cosmetics that may stain

• Keep away from water and humidity to prevent tarnishing of metallic elements

• Pearl tassels are delicate—handle gently to prevent thread breakage

  
  

Maintenance:

• Air out occasionally to prevent musty odors

• If tassels tangle, gently separate with fingers (do not pull forcefully)

• For minor wrinkles, steam from a distance (do not iron directly on embellishments)

• Inspect periodically for loose threads or beads and repair promptly

  
  

Special Notes:

• Brocade fabrics may have slight color variations due to handloom weaving—this is natural and adds to authenticity

• First-time use may release a faint fabric odor; air out before use

• Color may transfer onto light-colored clothing when new—test before placing against delicate fabrics

• Handle vintage-style pieces with extra care as antique finishes may be more delicate

  
  

With proper care, your potli will remain a treasured accessory for years and can be passed down as a family heirloom.
