What things should I be mindful of when ordering online?

Colours
While every endeavour has been made to accurately reproduce colours, there may be minor variations in colour of the actual product because of the nature of fabric dyes, weather at the time of dying and differences in display output due to lighting and digital photography and colour settings and capabilities of monitors.

A customer must place an order keeping in mind this minor variation in colour as seen on a computer screen against the actual colour of the outfit received.

Rani Creations believe that all the customers who order online are aware that colours seen on a monitor will be slightly different as compared to the actual outfits or accessories ordered.

It is basically impossible for Rani Creations to replicate the same colours on an outfit as seen on your monitor. A variation in the shade selected by you is considered as a normal practice as these garments have a tendency to reflect different shades of a colour under different light and weather, type of camera used for photography or type and settings on the computer monitor.

Red, maroon and orange colours have a higher tendency to reflect a different shade than other colours.  Sometimes green and blue shades also overlap, as well as off white, white and cream colours.

Fabrics

Some fabrics like raw silk, khadi silk, cotton silk, south cotton, brocade have a textured effect where we can see the weaving & threads are visible in different directions which is an inherent characteristic or feature of that fabric and proof of its authenticity. These are not defects. This raw finish is the beauty of these fabrics.

Handcrafted and Handloom Items

Handcrafted, hand dyed, hand printed, hand painted, hand embroidered, handloom, hand weaved products will always have minor differences when we compare them as they are not made by machines. Each piece will be unique. Handicraft artisans always try their best to make each piece better than the previous one. So, the product will always have minor variation keeping the same theme constant in artistic manner. The raw finish of the handicrafts cannot be compared with machine finished products as this raw finish is the beauty of the handicrafts items.

Product Information and Sizing

The details of the products or product specifications such as weight, colour, handwork details, size, etc. quoted with the product displays are only approximate values.  For example, the weight of a product will increase once it has been wrapped and boxed.  On our website we have tried to provide you with as much information as possible in regards to the size of each product and garment.  If you are unsure about whether the garment will fit you, then we advise you to email us at info@ranicreations.com and seek further information and clarification before you purchase the garment.

Wash / Care instructions

Since almost all Indian dyes are vegetable dyes, we recommend that you Dry Clean all garments.  If you are having a beaded garment dry cleaned, make sure you get assurances from the dry cleaners that the beads and fabric will not be damaged and that the colour will not bleed.
