Nirmal Rang Pure Cotton Handloom Saree Purple

What shade of purple is it?

It is a deep, saturated purple rather than a pastel, in plain pure cotton with a matte finish. The purple tassels along the edge match the body, so the look stays tonal from end to end.

What finishes the pallu?

The pallu end is finished with purple tassels and small beads along the edge, matching the body for a tonal finish. On a plain, solid saree like this they are the main detail, and they add a little movement when you walk.

Is it suitable for daily wear?

Yes. Pure cotton is soft, breathable and lightweight, and it is durable enough for regular use. It is easy to drape and comfortable through a long day, at home, at work or out.

What jewellery goes with it?

Silver and oxidised jewellery look lovely with deep purple, and pearls keep it soft for the office. For travel, small studs and a few bangles are enough. Keep it light for everyday wear.

Is the length standard?

It measures 6.4 to 6.5 metres including the running blouse, which your tailor cuts from the end of the saree. That leaves a comfortable length for pleats and pallu once the blouse piece is cut off.

Is it handwoven?

Yes, it is a handloom saree from Bengal, woven by hand on a loom without power. Small irregularities in the weave are part of a handcrafted piece. They show that the cloth was made on a hand-operated loom.
