Tassels / Kuchu — Hand-Tied Knots
Hand-tied tassels, called kuchu in Tamil: our team knots the loose threads at the pallu end into neat, even tassels. They are made from the saree's own threads — not beaded, not ready-made.
- Time: adds about 5–7 working days before dispatch
- Style: plain knotted tassels from the saree's threads; beaded and designer kuchu are not offered yet
- Already has tassels? Sarees that come with tassels say so in their description and do not need this
- Returns: a finished saree is customised for you and cannot be returned or exchanged
This service is added from a saree's page. Please add it together with the saree it is for.
Colours may differ slightly from photos due to lighting and screen settings — we photograph every piece as true to life as possible. Each product's fabric is stated in its title and description — our range includes art silk (artificial silk) and pure cotton weaves.
On zari-work sarees, light fold marks in the zari are a natural characteristic of the weave, not a defect. Handloom pieces may show small knots or slubs — the signature of genuine handwork.

Art silk & synthetic sarees: gentle hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, or dry clean. Don't wring — roll in a dry towel to remove excess water, then drip dry in shade. Iron low, on the reverse.
Cotton: wash separately in cold water for the first few washes — rich colours can release dye. Hand wash preferred; a gentle machine cycle with like colours only is fine after that. Dry in shade; medium iron for a crisp finish.
Kids' wear: gentle hand wash in cool water; no tumble drying.
Zari sarees: avoid soaking — water and zari don't mix well.
Storage: fold and wrap in a soft cotton or muslin cloth, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid plastic covers or bags.
