Handcrafted Pastoral Kota Silk Pink Jacquard Saree

Why does the colour look slightly uneven in places?

The saree is hand-dyed, and hand-dyeing rarely gives a completely flat, factory-even colour. Slight variations in depth are part of the process and differ from piece to piece. Screen settings can also make the shade look a little different from the fabric in hand.

Does the jacquard make it stiff?

No. The pattern is woven into the Kota silk rather than stitched or pasted on, so there is no stiff backing or extra layer. The fabric keeps Kota's airy texture and delicate drape, and the woven leaf border and gold-striped pallu add detail rather than bulk.

What jewellery suits a pink jacquard Kota?

Pink and gold are a classic pair, so gold jhumkas or a fine gold chain work well. For a lighter, office-friendly look, try pearls or small silver studs. Keep it minimal so the woven pattern is not lost.

Is it suitable for summer?

Yes. Kota is a lightweight, sheer weave with an airy texture, so it is a comfortable choice for warm days. The khat checks keep the fabric open, and with a light petticoat underneath it stays easy to wear through a long summer day.

What is the care routine?

Dry cleaning is preferred. A gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent is fine; wash it separately because of the hand-dyed colour, do not wring, and dry in the shade.

Is the blouse a contrast or running blouse?

It is a running blouse piece in the same fabric, attached at the end of the saree, so the blouse matches the body. The 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. If you prefer a contrast, a deep green or navy blouse made separately also works.
