Here are the list of issues not considered defects:
* The small knots or bumps in threads you often see occur when broken threads are pieced together. This is not considered a defect.
* The uneven threads connecting the border to the body are not considered defects.
* Slubs - residual threads bundled together in tiny knots.
* Minute gaps in and around motifs.
* Dye 'bleeding' onto the pallu from the body - this is common in power loom sarees.
* Loose threads in Badhani sarees used for the tying and dyeing.
* Color mismatch - colours are subjective, we understand. We try to best capture the most truest colours of the saree. Despite that, due to individual device settings, the colours may appear different on different devices. Hence, it is advisable you check with our team if you are doubtful regarding the colour of a product.
These are considered defects:
* Tear in the saree
* Incorrect length (instead of what was stated),
* Missing blouse piece (if mentioned that the saree has a blouse piece)
