A real Kanjeevaram's zari should feel substantial and never flake, the korvai border is three shuttles so you see a clean, raised join. True handloom has a gentle imperfection you can feel. Everyone says go to big weavers, but my life says find the small family looms in Thiruvannamalai; my own wedding saree, bought by my mother from there forty-five years ago, still dazzles while my niece's fancy showroom one has tarnished. The power loom copy is stiff and too perfect, like it has no soul.
