Captivating Pure Kota Linen Embroidery Saree Peach

How is this saree embroidered?

The body is covered in a large cream paisley jaal embroidered over the dusty peach-pink ground. Because the cream sits close to the soft base colour, it doesn't shout against it, and the effect is rich up close and subtle from a distance.

What do the border and pallu look like?

A narrow tan-gold zari-look border runs along the edges, and the pallu changes from embroidery to fine horizontal stripes. The plainer, striped pallu gives the eye a rest after the busy body and falls neatly over the shoulder.

What is Kota linen?

It combines the Kota Doria weave of Kota, Rajasthan, with linen fibre. You keep Kota's airy texture and its small square checks, called khats, and gain linen's strength, durability and natural lustre.

Will the shade match the photo exactly?

Not always exactly. The saree is hand-dyed, so tones can vary slightly from piece to piece, and screens also shift soft shades like this one. If you are matching a blouse or accessories, check the saree in daylight once you have it.

Is the blouse included?

Yes, a blouse piece is attached to the saree, within the total length of 6.3 to 6.4 metres. Your tailor cuts it from the end and stitches it to your measurements and preferred neckline.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly, and air it in dry weather so moisture does not settle in the embroidery. Dry it in the shade if it ever gets damp.
