Look for the weight of the saree. Often you will find people debating on this point. Even most of my buyers ask more question on weight more than any other identifier. It has often been said that a good quality silk saree is more in weight. On the contrary, good quality silk is always light in its weight. Although these sarees have a great fall and the final look of these sarees are really rich and sophisticated.

Touch The Fabric. This is one of the acid tests when you get down to buy a good quality silk mark saree. High quality silk always has a very soft and uniform smoothness to its finish. The feel of the silk will be soft against the skin. There will not be an iota of coarseness to the material. In case you feel any bubble or tufts of thread in a place then avoid the piece. But when you buy online this is not possible to perform so you have to look at the silk mark tags as that is the genuine assurance.
