Striped Katan Silk Saree Payne'S Gray Handcrafted

What kind of sequins does it have?

Copper and silver sequins are scattered across a charcoal-grey body. The mix of the two metals gives a soft, uneven shimmer, warm in some places and cool in others, which makes the dark ground look lively without heavy work.

How do the stripes show on a dark ground?

Fine pale stripes run across the charcoal, adding light lines and texture to an otherwise deep colour. The striped pallu continues the pattern, and the sheen of the Katan silk makes the stripes stand out softly.

Should I wear gold or silver jewellery?

Either works, because the sequins mix copper and silver. Oxidised silver keeps it understated, while rose-gold or antique gold brings out the copper glints. Mixing both metals also looks intentional with this saree.

How do I care for the sequinned silk?

Dry cleaning is preferred. A gentle hand wash with mild detergent is also fine. Wash it separately, do not scrub or wring the sequins, press out water gently, and dry it in shade.

Is the blouse fabric included?

Yes. The blouse piece comes attached to the saree, within the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length. Cut it away and have it tailored to your measurements. A matching charcoal blouse keeps the look sleek and lets the copper and silver sequins carry the shine.

Will mine look exactly like the photo?

Very close, but each saree is hand-dyed and finished by hand, so small differences in tone and sequin placement are normal. Those minor irregularities are part of handcrafted work. Screens can also show dark grey differently.
