Price of Cotton Silk Sarees

People started to experiment with 2 varieties to keep the cost minimum and not lose the sheen of the fabric. Thus was born cotton silk. If one were to take a look at the sarees, one would be hard pressed to distinguish this with a pure silk saree.

However, it is much lighter than a pure silk saree and it is much cheaper. Women hence prefer a silk cotton saree unless the occasion demands a heavy silk saree. They come in bright colours with attractive borders.

This fabric is also used in salwar suits.
