Striped Bansbara Tussar Silk Handloom Saree Golden Brown

Is the shade more gold or more brown?

It is a warm golden ochre with a glossy sheen, rather than a dark brown. It is an earthy, warm shade that suits wheatish and dusky skin tones especially well. Screens vary, so the shade may look slightly different in person.

What makes the pallu different from the body?

The pallu carries cream stripes on the golden ochre ground, so it looks lighter and more striking than the body. The body has lengthwise stripes with fine dotted lines, and the pallu end is finished with brown tassels.

Where can it be worn?

It is first an office saree: polished but not loud. It also works well for a puja or temple visit, a dinner out, a kitty brunch and smaller festive gatherings.

How should I wash it?

It is hand-dyed, so treat it with care. Dry clean is preferred; for a home wash, use cold water and a mild detergent, wash it separately from other clothes and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun.

How do I take care of the tassels?

Keep the tassels untangled by smoothing them before you fold the saree. Avoid tugging them while pinning the pallu, and if you hand wash, support the end so the tassels don't twist.
