Chamak Pure Mul Cotton Sequin Bottle Green Saree

What makes this saree festive?

Small gold sequin dots are scattered across the olive green body from end to end, so it has a gentle shimmer without heavy work. The green with gold reads festive for a mehndi or sangeet, while the sheer mul keeps it light and easy.

Does it include a blouse?

No, it comes without a blouse piece, at about 5.4 to 5.5 metres. A gold, mustard or maroon blouse looks lovely against the olive green; a black blouse gives a more modern look.

Can I wear it to a mehndi?

Yes, a mehndi is where it fits best. The bottle green is a natural mehndi colour, the sequins catch the light, and the mul cotton stays cool through a long daytime function. It also suits a sangeet or cocktail evening, a kitty party or brunch, and festivals. Oxidised or kundan earrings work well with the green.

What is gini work?

Gini work is a traditional hand embroidery technique of small, raised stitches spread across the fabric, creating a subtle dotted pattern. On this saree it is worked with sequins, which appear as small, scattered points of gold over the olive green.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash it gently in mild detergent, separately from the rest of the wash, and dry it in the shade. Keep the sequins away from rough handling: fold the saree with the worked side inward and lift it out of the water rather than wringing it. That is all it needs to stay soft and keep the green fresh.

Is it light enough for summer?

Yes. Pure mul cotton is soft, lightweight and breathable, gentle on the skin and made for hot climates. The sheer olive body and scattered sequins keep it light, so it is easy to wear for summer outings, travel and daytime kitty brunches.
