Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, accurate answers regarding fabric authenticity, unboxing video policies, custom blouse tailoring, shipping, and trousseau care.

What is Kainara's return and exchange policy? (Is Unboxing Video required?)

We offer a 7-day exchange policy for unstitched sarees in original unused condition with brand tags attached.

⚠️ MANDATORY UNBOXING VIDEO REQUIREMENT: An un-edited unboxing video (recorded continuously from opening the sealed courier box to inspecting the saree) is strictly required to process any exchange or damage claim. Claims without an un-edited unboxing video cannot be accepted.

Custom-stitched blouses and personalized sarees cannot be returned or exchanged.

What if my parcel arrives damaged or an item is missing? +

Share your continuous, un-edited unboxing video showing the shipping label and outer parcel condition with our WhatsApp support (+91 93521 115639) within 48 hours of delivery.

Upon video verification, we will arrange a reverse pickup and dispatch a fresh replacement at zero additional charge.

How are Kainara sarees packaged for delivery? +

Every saree is carefully folded with protective silk tissue paper, placed inside a rigid luxury hardboard presentation box, and sealed inside a tamper-proof outer courier package to ensure pristine condition during domestic and international transit.

Are Kainara sarees 100% pure fabric (Bemberg Chiffon, Silk, Georgette, Organza)? +

Yes. Every Kainara saree is woven from 100% pure, certified fabrics including pure Bemberg Chiffon, pure Silk, pure Georgette, and natural Mulberry Organza. We strictly do not use polyester or synthetic blend imitations.

Bemberg Chiffon (pure cupro) is a natural regenerated cotton linter filament celebrated for its liquid-soft drape, featherlight feel, and breathable luxury quality.

What makes Jaipur Leheriya resist dyeing unique? +

Leheriya is an ancient 500-year-old Rajasthani resist-dyeing art. Master Rangrej dyers hand-bind cotton cords diagonally across folded chiffon before dipping into natural pigment vats in Jaipur.

Because every line is bound by hand, slight color gradients and natural wave line variations occur — authenticating 100% genuine artisanal handcraft.

How does custom saree blouse stitching work? +

On product pages, choose between three tailoring options:

  • Unstitched Fabric: 0.8m - 1.0m matching running blouse piece included.
  • Standard Sizing: Pre-stitched in ready sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL with margin.
  • Bespoke Custom Sizing: Our master tailors contact you via WhatsApp/Email within 12 hours to collect exact bust, waist, sleeve, and neck depth measurements before tailoring.
Are saree fall and pico edging included? +

Yes! Fall & Pico edging as well as custom blouse tailoring can be selected when customizing your order.

What are the delivery timelines across India and Internationally? +

We ship insured express worldwide:

  • India Domestic: 3-5 business days via BlueDart Air / Delhivery.
  • International Express (UK, USA, UAE, Canada, Australia): 4-7 business days via DHL Express / FedEx.
  • Custom Blouse Stitching: Adds 3-5 additional tailoring days prior to dispatch.
How are international customs duties handled? +

Shipping fees paid at checkout cover express transit. International import duties, taxes, or local VAT (if levied by destination customs authorities) are the responsibility of the recipient upon parcel arrival.

How should I store and care for my Kainara saree? +

Dry clean only. Store your saree in a cool, dry wardrobe wrapped in breathable cotton garment covers or archival paper. Never spray perfumes, body mists, or water directly onto gold Zardozi wires or hand embroidery.

Can I iron my Zardozi or Gota Patti saree at home? +

Iron on low-temperature steam setting on the reverse side only. Place a clean cotton cloth over metallic needlework to avoid direct iron contact with gold threads or sequin embellishments.

How are Kainara artisans supported? +

Kainara works directly with Master Ramesh and hereditary Karigar families in Jaipur. We pay 300% fair wages directly into artisan accounts and provide 3 weeks of unhurried handcrafting time per piece without agent deductions.
