Kancheepuram silk sarees price goes up as gold price skyrockets

<h2>The prices of Kancheepuram silk sarees have surged up to 50% in the past eight months due to rising gold and silver prices, leading to a 20% dip in sales. Customers now prefer sarees with less metal content or fewer sarees overall</h2>

Weddings get costlier this year as the prices of world renowned Kancheepuram silk sarees have gone up. This comes amid skyrocketing gold prices. As per Times of India, the cost of Kancheepuram silk saris has surged up to 50% in the past eight months. The report further mentioned that this price rise has pushed customers to shift to sarees that either have less gold, silver content or those without the metals.
<h3>Silk Saree prices rise</h3>
Times of India quoted retail textile chain brand, RmKV, which specialises in Kancheepuram silk sarees and said there has been a 20% dip in sales this wedding season
"Several customers come with a specific budget and prefer (Kancheepuram) silk sarees with less gold and silver content, while some reduce the number of sarees to suit their budget", K Sivakumar, managing director of RmKV told TOI.
He further added that this is the first time the prices of silk sarees have gone up to 35-40% in a short span of time due to the unprecedented rise in gold prices.&nbsp;
On October 1, 2023 the 22 carat gold prices was Rs 5,356 per gram which rose to Rs 6,830 on May 22, 2024. Similarly silver prices also surged from Rs 75.5 per gram to Rs 95.8 during the same period.&nbsp;
The TOI report quoted V K Dhamodaran of Kancheepuram Silk Sari Manufacturers Association who also noted that the price rise between Oct last year and this May is 40-50%.&nbsp;
"The cost of Kancheepuram silk sarees is determined primarily by gold and silver rates as the two metals are essential to make the 'zari' that is part of traditional silk sari", VK Dhamodaran told TOI.
He further added that customers are buying handloom Kancheepuram silk saree with zari that does not have the mix of gold and silver as it is cheaper. This has largely impacted textile business and weaver.
As per J Kamalanathan of K S Parthasarathy Handloom Weavers Association who also spoke to TOI, the silk saree which was priced at Rs 70,000 in October last year has escalated to Rs 1.2 lakh at present.
"For instance, the cost of a silk sari, which was priced at Rs 70,000 in Oct last year, has escalated to Rs 1.2 lakh at present. Since there are only a few takers for such premium category saris after it became expensive, weavers have turned their attention towards the affordable (sari) segment", he told TOI.

During the festive season, ensure your Kanjivaram silk saree is genuine by performing simple tests like the Zari Test, Sound Test, and Feel Test, to avoid being fooled by fake ones

Kanjivaram sarees, also known as Kanchipuram sarees, are renowned for their opulent silk fabric, intricate zari work, and timeless traditional designs, making them a symbol of South Indian elegance and culture.
As the festival and wedding seasons are around the corner, saree enthusiasts may be heading out to buy the nine yards of gorgeous silks and Kanjivaram silk sarees are always top choices for most saree lovers. But how to be sure that the one you are buying is genuine. Here are some simple tips that might help you to identify whether a Kanjivaram silk saree is authentic or not.&nbsp;
<h3>Simple tips to test purity of Kanjivaram silk</h3>
The Zari Test:
Rub the zari gently; if it tarnishes or loses its shine, it might not be real.
The Sound Test:
Real silk makes a soft, gentle sound, like a rustle. Fake silk can make a harsher, plastic-like noise.
The Feel Test: Run your fingers over the saree's surface. Real Kanjivaram silk feels smooth, cool, and luxurious. Fake silk may feel rough or synthetic.
This festive season, don't let anyone fool you with fake Kanjivaram silk sarees. Use these simple tests to ensure you're getting the real deal. Remember, genuine Kanjivaram sarees are a beautiful and timeless addition to your festive wardrobe.

Skincare has become an essential regime of our daily life and we are now aware of basic rules like always taking off our makeup before bed, washing our face, following the night care routine and using sunscreen. But, what if we tell you that your part of taking care of skin does not end there; because when you head to bed, the fabric of your pillow also plays a pivotal role in it.&nbsp;
According to experts, silk pillowcases are better for your skin. Dr Michael Jacobs, Medical Technology Director at Cortina said that there is less friction between the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/lifestyle-news/fashion-and-beauty/how-to-double-cleanse-your-face-know-about-this-skincare-trend-1659079883400">skincare</a> and the pillow reducing skin break outs.&nbsp;
The experts also say that silk absorbs less moisture than cotton or microfiber, so it won't suck the hydration or night products from the skin overnight.&nbsp;
Dermatologists also recommend using a silk sleeping eye mask as it can significantly reduce the formation of wrinkles by protecting the most delicate part of the skin.&nbsp;
