Have you heard about them - trust me you have heard! And I bet you have some of the fancy ones in your wardrobe too. But we keep only the special sarees into them. But it is convenient to arrange your sarees even if you have a small space, or when you are traveling.
But you will ask me it is the same folding the saree, - I agree! But, why not store them separately, fabric and embroidery wise in a saree storage box. Such boxes are cheap and easily available in the market and it also helps to keep your sarees stacked neatly without and hassle.
Hanging your saree is not the only option and it also is not convenient if you have small space. In that case, folding your sarees is the only option.

For those who are saree lovers, it is obvious that they tend to build a big wardrobe or have more than one wardrobe. And hanging the sarees to pull them out easily is the one reason to have big wardrobes.
But hanging sarees might make you regret, as most of the sarees slip out of the hanger. To overcome this problem, there are special hangers available in the market for hanging sarees that are anti-slip.
Tip 3: Store Saree as per Fabric

Tip 4: Do Some Saree Color Coding
Another way of storing your sarees is by color-coding them. Some people tend to wear certain colours for certain occasions and if you are that person this tip is going to help you.
