Pure Linen Check Design Handloom Purple Saree

What finishes the pallu?

The pallu opens into a wide silvery striped panel and ends in white-and-purple tassels. It is the dressiest part of the saree, so an open pallu over the shoulder shows it off best, and the tassels add a little swing as you walk.

What pattern runs through the body?

Small white grid checks over purple, threaded with fine gold-toned lines. The scale is small enough to read as rich texture from a distance, and the narrow silvery border keeps the edges neat against the colour.

What should I wear under it?

Choose a purple or deep plum petticoat. A matching tone keeps the checks looking even from waist to hem and lets the silvery pallu stand out on its own. A plain cotton petticoat stays comfortable under this light linen saree all day.

How can I style the blouse?

The blouse fabric comes attached, in the pallu colour, for an easy matched look. For a change, a grey blouse leans into the silvery pallu, a pale lilac softens the purple, and mustard makes a bold, cheerful contrast.

How do I store it?

Fold it into its own cloth bag and keep it somewhere dry. Change the fold lines now and then, lay the tassels flat so they don't tangle, and let it air in non-humid weather. Clean it by dry cleaning only and dry it in the shade.

How is it made?

It is a handloom pure linen saree from Bhagalpur, coloured by hand dyeing. Slight differences in line and tone from one piece to another come from these hand processes and are part of its character.
