Ask about the silk type: tussar, ghicha, matka or blends. Each has a different feel and price.

Ask for dyeing and print details if you want specific colours.

Weavers in Bhagalpur often work in advance orders, so be ready to pay a part of the amount when you book. Ask for a written note of the fabric type, length and delivery date. For larger lots, many buyers arrange transport through a local office and pay freight on delivery.

Prices change with the silk grade and the amount of hand work. Ask the weaver why one piece costs more than another. A good weaver will explain it plainly.
