How to identify Authentic Arani Silk Sarees

• Look for GI tags and Pothys' authenticity mark
• Check for uniform, soft sheen and even zari work
• Inspect the korvai (interlocking borders): true handloom arani pattu sarees have seamless transitions
• Weave should feel strong but never stiff
• Buttas must be sharp, with a thematic structure
• For online buyers, use Pothys' "filters" for blouse, border, motif, and colour preferences

Arani silk sarees are available in:

• Classic Arani (solid coloured with contrast border)
• Arani checked saree (small or bold checks on the body)
• Traditional contemporary motifs inspired by traditional geometric patterns and stark borders
