Katan Yellow Silk Saree Handcrafted

What sets the pallu apart?

The pallu carries two cream stripes across the bright ground and ends in a fringe. Against a mostly plain body, those stripes are the main design moment, so a loose or lightly pleated pallu shows them best.

Is the body completely plain?

It looks plain from a distance, but a faint tonal check texture is woven through it on the Jacquard loom, with a fine tonal striped hem at the edge. It gives the silk depth without adding any busy pattern.

Can I wear it outside the office too?

The office is where it fits most easily, bright but simple. It also suits summer outings and trips, works for an evening dinner with a darker blouse, and suits a temple visit or a puja at home, where a sunny yellow feels right.

Which blouse colours suit a marigold shade?

Yellow is warm, so deep maroon, bottle green or royal blue give rich contrast. Cream echoes the pallu stripes for a softer, tonal look. Gold or antique jewellery sits naturally with it.

How do I care for the hand-dyed yellow?

It is dry clean only, which is the safest way to look after the hand-dyed colour. Keep it away from moisture and store it in a separate bag in a dry place. If it gets wet, dry it in shade. Small tonal variations are part of hand dyeing.

Does the saree come with blouse fabric?

Yes. The blouse piece comes attached, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. Cut it off cleanly before tailoring and hand it to your tailor. A cream blouse design that echoes the pallu stripes is one easy idea.
