Gilded Grace Kota Cotton Gota Patti Maroon Saree

What does the gota creeper look like on this Gilded Grace?

Silver-toned gota leaves and flowers, with small green accents, run along the border as a floral vine beside a narrow gold edge. Small gota flowers are dotted over the body, and the sheer base is a warm coral red.

What blouse suits this shade?

The base is a warm coral red, so treat it like red: a gold or mustard blouse for a traditional look, or a bottle green blouse to pick up the green accents in the gota border.

Is the shine real gota or a metallic print?

It is real gota patti handwork: small pieces of gold or silver-coloured ribbon applied onto the Kota cotton to build the floral vine border and scattered flowers. It is handcrafted at the Indiehaat unit in Kota under master artisan Haq Nawaz, so small irregularities are part of the work.

What care does Kota cotton with gota need?

Simple care is enough. Wash it gently by hand with a mild detergent, always separately, and dry it in the shade. The Kota cotton is durable; it's the gota you protect, so no scrubbing, no wringing, and use a pressing cloth if you iron over the work.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. The saree measures 5.4 to 5.5 metres and comes with an 80 cm blouse piece in the package, so your tailor can make the blouse to your own measurements, sleeve length and neckline.

Is Kota cotton too stiff or too heavy to drape?

Neither. Kota cotton is lightweight, soft and breathable, woven with the signature checkered weave known as khats. That makes it comfortable in hot weather, and the gota is concentrated on the border, so the saree stays easy to drape for festive days, brunches and summer travel.
