Earthloom Handdyed Khadi Cotton Saree Velvety Red

What does the pallu of this saree look like?

This Earthloom saree has a deep wine body with fine self lines and a slub texture. The pallu switches to a contrast teal, and red tassels finish the end. A thin teal edge runs along the border, carrying the pallu colour quietly down the drape.

What blouse would bring out the teal and wine?

A teal blouse picks up the pallu and makes the wine look richer. A wine or deep red blouse gives a tonal look. Antique gold or oxidised jewellery suits both.

Is there a blouse piece with it?

Yes. A 1-metre blouse piece comes with the saree, the same one the model wears. You can stitch it as is or have your tailor pair it with teal piping to echo the pallu.

Can I wear this khadi in winter?

Yes. Khadi keeps you cool in summer and comfortably warm in cooler weather. The deep wine body with fine self lines has a medium-weight look, and paired with a teal or wine blouse it suits cooler months as well as warm office days.

How should I wash the deep wine saree?

Wash it separately by hand with a mild detergent, as that is the safest way to care for rich hand-dyed shades, and dry it in the shade. This keeps the wine body and teal pallu looking clear and stops them marking each other.

Are irregularities in the texture expected?

Yes. The fabric is handspun, handwoven and hand-dyed, so small variations in the slub, the fine self lines and the shade are natural. They make each saree individual and give the wine body its soft, textured look.
