Goonj Chanderi Silk Deep Blue Ajrakh Printed Saree

What does the Goonj saree look like?

Sparse red and cream flowers float on a teal-blue ground, and the pallu continues in the same pattern rather than switching to a heavy panel. The look is soft and understated, with a gentle sheen to the surface.

What are the borders like?

The borders carry the most detail: a band of red roses on a cream vine, edged with fine cream lines. Since the body and pallu are kept open, the border is what frames the saree and gives the drape its shape.

Is it very sheer?

It has the light sheerness that Chanderi is known for, and with an open, sparse print there is less pattern to mask it. A petticoat in a close teal or blue shade gives the cleanest result.

Will it be comfortable through a busy day?

Yes. It is light enough to wear from morning to evening without feeling it on the shoulder, and the silk cotton breathes in warm rooms and outdoors alike. With the pallu matching the body, you can drape it open or pleated without worrying about which side shows.

Is there a blouse?

Yes, a blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. Your tailor separates it from the saree before making the blouse, so everything you need comes in one length.

How should it be cleaned?

Only by dry cleaning. Between wears, keep it in a separate bag in a dry cupboard, refolding it along new lines from time to time. Air it in dry weather and dry it in the shade if it ever gets damp, which helps protect the soft sheen and print.
