What you receive

An unstitched drape, with an unstitched blouse piece attached to the saree and included in the price. Fall and pico are not done as standard, but both are available on request.

How it is woven

Hand weaving here means a pit loom and a weft inserted by hand. The dobby carries the flower buti and the border pattern across body, border and pallu. No part of the cloth is machine-woven. The Handloom Mark is on record against these pieces. Each piece is checked before it leaves us; kuchu, selvedge and edges are already finished.

The border

Bugdi border: the woven design in the border reads the same on both of its faces. The design is a double design border, two parallel border designs worked together in golden zari, with flower buti repeating across body and pallu.

Colour

Every colour in this range is fast on wash and on rub. What can vary is your screen: displays render shade differently, so the saree in hand may read a little differently from the photograph.

Care and storage

Care is Dry Clean Only. In sequence:

1. Professional dry clean only.


2. Air-dry in the shade. Never wring the cloth.


3. Iron inside out on a low to medium setting, under a cotton press cloth.


4. Store wrapped in breathable cotton or muslin, in a cool dark cupboard.


5. Refold every three to six months.

Dispatch

Nothing here is woven to order. Stock dispatch means about half of all orders leave the next day and most within two to three days, with delivery in three to seven days for most Indian addresses. You will find small irregularities in the cloth. They are characteristic of hand weaving and are present in every finished piece.

A horizontal split, cut clean: dark red for the length of the body, orange for the pallu, with no blending between them, and the join is woven rather than printed.

Hand weaving here means a pit loom and a weft inserted by hand. The dobby carries the flower buti and the border pattern across body, border and pallu. No part of the cloth is machine-woven. The address is Maheshwar, Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh.

The border is woven bugdi, so the border design reads the same on both faces. Squared off like that, the saree reads almost geometric on the hanger and completely different on the body.

Minor irregularity in the weave is what hand weaving looks like up close, and it is present in these finished pieces. The Handloom Mark is held with the registration on record. These are family looms, and the weaving has been passed down within the household.
