Rangrez Katan Silk Hand Dyed Saree Ivory White

What does the Rangrez saree look like up close?

The ivory body is covered in a fine grid check, small and even, so from a distance it reads as a soft texture rather than a bold pattern. Narrow gold chevron bands run along the borders, and the pallu repeats them as stripes, finished with tassels.

How does the hand dyeing show on this piece?

The Rangrez saree is coloured by hand, so each piece is dyed individually and the shade can vary slightly from one saree to the next, and from what you see on your screen. Small irregularities are part of handcrafted work and make each piece a little different.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. The saree comes with an 80 cm blouse piece. The blouse worn by the model in the photos is only for styling and is not part of the package.

What blouse colours work with it?

A gold blouse picks up the chevron borders for a dressier look. Tan or taupe keeps it soft and tonal for the office. For an evening, a deep contrast such as maroon, bottle green or navy makes the ivory and gold stand out.

Where can I wear the Rangrez saree?

It is first an office and workwear saree: light, neat and quietly polished. The ivory and gold also feel right for temple visits and pujas, it suits summer outings and travel, and with a darker blouse and gold jewellery it carries into an evening dinner.

How long is the saree?

The saree measures 5.5 to 5.6 metres and comes with an 80 cm blouse piece. That is a regular length for a pleated nivi drape, with enough fabric to show off the striped pallu over the shoulder.

How should I care for and store it?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds from time to time, and air it out in non-humid weather now and then. If it ever needs drying, keep it in the shade.
