Pastoral Handwoven Pure Linen Ink Blue Saree

What does the Pastoral saree's pallu look like?

The pallu is striped in purple against a cornflower-blue body, finished with tassels. The blue and purple sit close in tone, so the pallu feels soft and harmonious rather than loud.

What runs along the border?

A silver band edged with a thin purple line runs along the border. It adds a little shine and ties the purple pallu back into the body of the saree.

Which blouse would suit it?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour. A purple blouse keeps the soft tonal look and lets the stripes flow into it. A silver or white blouse makes the blue look brighter, and a pink one picks up the small pink accents.

How should I wash it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. If you handwash, use a mild detergent, wash it separately and dry it in the shade, since hand-dyed blues and purples hold their colour best away from direct sun. Iron the silver border from the reverse side.

Is linen good for warm weather?

Yes. Pure linen is made from flax fibre, which is breathable and keeps you cool, with a natural lustre that looks good without effort. It starts out crisp and becomes softer and more supple with each wash, so it grows more comfortable over time.
