Ayye, real Kanjeevaram zari will feel heavy and cool like my evening dosa batter, not light and plasticky. That korvai border? The design should flow seamless like my sambar, no gaps or glue marks! Handloom has slight irregularities, which is beauty only, like the bubbles in my appams.
But honestly, from my PG in Delhi? I learned from the aunty next stall whose daughter married a weaver's son. She said now even good shops mix power loom, so you must rub the pallu between fingers — handloom zari won't spark threads like cheap oil spitting.
