Chamak Sequin Pure Tissue Cotton Saree Red

What shade of red is it?

A raspberry red with a copper-gold shimmer, so it is warmer and more glowing than a flat red. Fuchsia tassels add a playful contrast, and a few sequin dots catch the light. It has the festive warmth of red without feeling heavy or bridal.

How can I style it for a festive look?

Go with gold. Gold jewellery and a gold or copper blouse bring out the shimmer and give a traditional festive finish. For a softer evening look, try a fuchsia blouse to match the tassels, with simple earrings.

Is it handwoven?

Yes. It is a pure tissue cotton handloom saree from Bengal, with sequin embroidery added on top. Handloom weaving means small irregularities in the weave and sheen, which are a natural part of a handmade fabric.

Will red dye run in the wash?

To be safe, always wash it on its own. Hand wash gently with a mild detergent and dry it in the shade. Keeping it away from other clothes in the wash protects both them and the saree, and avoid wringing the sequinned areas.

What do I get in the package?

One Chamak saree of about 6.4 to 6.5 metres, with a running blouse. The blouse length is woven in with the saree, so cut it off before tailoring and you will have fabric in the same shimmer.
