Earthloom Handdyed Khadi Cotton Saree Exuberant

How does the Exuberant saree's colour blocking work?

The Exuberant saree runs broad, intersecting blocks of teal, magenta and brown through the body and into the pallu, with touches of ochre. Because the pallu carries the same blocks, the colour stays strong from waist to shoulder. The slub khadi softens the bold palette.

How do I balance such a bold saree?

Pick one shade from the saree for the blouse. Teal keeps it cool, magenta makes it brighter, and brown grounds it. Keep jewellery simple, such as oxidised earrings or a single kada, so the colour blocks stay the focus.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. The package holds the saree and a 1-metre blouse piece, the same as the one the model wears. With such a colourful saree, you can stitch it as shown or choose a solid shade from the blocks.

How long is the saree, and how does the pattern fall?

It is 6.4 to 6.5 metres long, a full length for a regular drape with pleats and a comfortable pallu. Because the teal, magenta and brown blocks run through the body and into the pallu, the pattern shows from every fold, however you pleat it.

How do I wash the bright shades?

Wash the saree on its own, gently by hand with a mild detergent, as that is the safest way to care for bright hand-dyed shades like magenta and teal. Dry it in the shade so the blocks stay clear.

What does handloom and hand-dyed mean here?

The khadi is handspun and woven on a traditional handloom, and the colour is applied by hand. That gives each saree slight variations in shade and pattern, so no two are exactly alike.
