Incandescent Silk Linen Embroidered Green Saree

What shade of green is it?

It is a soft sage green, cool and fresh rather than a deep emerald. Because it is hand-dyed, the exact depth may vary slightly from piece to piece and from what your screen shows.

What motifs are on the body?

Pink and coral paisleys are worked across the body with fine stems and leaves around them. The pink against the cool green makes a gentle contrast that suits daytime wear.

How should I choose a blouse for it?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour. A mustard or gold blouse gives it a festive warmth, while a pink blouse picks up the paisleys. A printed blouse also works, as the saree is not overly busy.

What is silk linen made of?

Silk linen blends silk, known for its softness and sheen, with linen, known for durability and breathability. The fabric carries a bit of both: soft to touch and lightly lustrous, with a gentle slub texture you can see in the weave.

How should I store it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly and let it air in dry, non-moist conditions now and then. If it gets damp, dry it in the shade, and iron on the reverse on low heat so the embroidery is not flattened.
