Kanjeevaram zari mein copper thread hota hai coated with silver and real gold, not just shiny polyester—chhuye toh thanda lagega. Korvai border alag se attach nahin hota, ek saath bun jata hai, so check for a seamless join where body and border meet. Handloom will have slight irregularities in the weave and the pallu's design won't repeat exactly like a machine-made one.
But your question reminded me of something else: my Nani's old loom in Surat. Weavers there would say the *sound* of the throw-shuttle—a soft thud—is the real test, not just the look. A power loom is too even and quiet.
