With the rising popularity of Kota Doria, many machine-made imitations have entered the market. As a customer, knowing how to identify real Kota Doria is essential.

Pure Kota Doria always has:
✔ A visible “KHAT” (square-check pattern)
✔ A light, breathable texture
✔ A combination of fine cotton and silk yarn
✔ Slight variations in weave that prove it’s handcrafted
✔ Soft stiffness due to natural starching
✔ Borders made with real zari in premium pieces

Another way to recognise genuine Kota Doria is the width of the fabric. Traditionally, Kota Doria is woven on pit looms using a throw-shuttle technique, which results in a width of about 46 inches. Fake or power-loom fabric usually comes in wider widths and feels heavier.

The best piece of advice?
Always buy from authentic makers who understand the craft deeply and maintain the purity of the fabric.
