Handloom Kota Silk Quaint Beige & Indigo Saree

What shade is the indigo on this saree?

The pallu is a slate or greyish blue rather than a deep inky indigo, crossed with thin gold stripes. The body is a light beige with a gold border. The overall look is muted and calm, which is why it sits so easily at work.

How is the pallu designed?

The pallu is covered in alternating bands of slate blue and fine gold stripes, so it has a textured, shimmering look. It contrasts with the plain beige body and gives the saree its character when worn over the shoulder.

Is it light enough for summer?

Yes. Kota silk is lightweight and sheer, with an open, airy weave and a delicate drape, which is why it suits summer days and long journeys. It also works well for office days and brunches in warm weather.

Will the blue pallu stain the beige body?

Because the pallu is dyed a different colour from the body, wash it separately, and use cool water with a mild detergent if you hand wash. Dry cleaning is the safer option. Always dry it in the shade.

Which blouse suits beige and slate blue?

A slate or navy blouse picks up the pallu and looks smart for work. Silver or grey suits the cool tone, while a mustard or rust blouse adds warmth. Oxidised silver jewellery works well with the muted palette.

Is it handloom?

Yes. It is a handloom Kota silk saree, finished with hand dyeing. Small irregularities in the weave or slight variations in shade are part of the handmade process and make each piece a little different.
