Similarly, many times the salesmen sell the exact copy of Sabyasachi lehenga to the customers at high prices by calling it original. If you are also planning to buy Sabyasachi lehenga for your wedding, then know how you can identify the real fake while purchasing it.
Sabyasachi is a symbol of standards in the world of fashion. People spend lakhs of rupees and buy their outfits from stores, but sometimes customers get cheated because there are many places in the market where you will get same-to-same copies, but they sell them as original. Let us know how to avoid falling into this trap and what rules need to be followed to avoid buying fake Sabyasachi lehenga.
Understand Chanderi Workmanship
Sabyasachi is known for his traditional handloom work. Furthermore, the intricate workmanship defines their signature style, so check out the cleanliness of the design. The designer mostly focuses on chanderi patterns and intricate thread work detailing in his lehengas. Their dresses have designs like peacock motifs, geometric patterns, coin replicas, coin polka flower patterns, geometric waves, etc. Its special thing is that most of the pattern shapes are of average size and repetition will be visible in them. Because of this the design of the lehenga looks very organic. Therefore pay special attention to thread work and design. If these are very small or big size patterns. If you don’t complement each other then it can be fake.
Take care of excellent packing
The best and surest way to identify genuine Sabyasachi outfits is to check its packaging thoroughly, because genuine Sabyasachi lehengas are definitely packed in a box with the Bengal Tiger logo on it, which gives a royal feel to the look, whereas replica lehengas are often packed in normal poly bags or big boxes.
Pay attention to shades of colors
Sabyasachi’s dual tone lehenga is a very popular trend and hence the trend is available in many stores in South Extension Market including Chandni Chowk or rather people even make replicas. If you want to buy the popular dual tone lehenga of Sabyasachi, then it will be easier for you to identify the original, because you understand the contrasting shades of colors. In an original lehenga, the colors of the contrasting pieces are applied in such a way that they complement each other and match perfectly.
Gota Patti work is specialty
Apart from the intricate work and neatly made average sized patterns, Sabyasachi never leaves out mostly gota-patti work in his lehengas. Her lehenga has a wide border around the hemline and geometric pleat design which is her signature statement. In this way you can decide whether Sabyasachi lehenga is real or fake. Apart from this, the best way is to buy it from a Sabyasachi store only. However, for this you will have to make some efforts, because the stores with their collection are open only in limited quantities.
