Sell Your Saree in Canada

Used sarees in Canada typically sell for C$28 to C$285 (about $20 to $200). Sarees range from everyday cotton to heavily worked silk, and the fabric and weave do almost all of the pricing.

Selling a saree in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

Working out what yours is worth

Check the fabric label or do a burn test on a loose thread if you know how
Unfold fully and inspect the fold lines against the light

Getting it ready

Identify the fabric as accurately as you can: pure silk, art silk, georgette, chiffon, cotton or blend.
Inspect the pallu and the zari work for pulls, tarnishing or loose threads, and check for any staining along the pleats.

Put in the description

Fabric type, and whether the silk is pure or art silk
Length of the saree and whether a blouse piece is included

Fabric, work and colour: “Pure Kanjivaram Silk Saree with Zari Border, Maroon, Blouse Piece Included”. Region and weave names are exactly what buyers search. Say whether the blouse piece is included in the title — it is one of the first things asked and it changes the price.

Light and folds small, so postage is cheap even internationally — and international buyers are common for good silk. Wrap in tissue and use a waterproof bag.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$283 a buyer pays is the C$283 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a saree in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Has it been worn or dry cleaned?

Be straightforward. Sarees worn once for an occasion and properly stored are highly sought after, and saying so honestly helps the price.

What makes a saree valuable second hand?

The fabric and weave first. Pure silk and recognised regional handloom weaves hold value; synthetic sarees sell for modest sums.

How should sarees be stored before selling?

Folded differently from time to time and kept out of direct light. Permanent fold lines weaken silk and eventually split it.
