Eclipsing Banarasi Silk Linen Handloom Purple Saree

What is this purple saree like?

The body is a deep wine-plum, a purple with a berry tint, framed by a wide gold floral brocade pallu and hem. Plum with gold is rich and warm, so the saree feels festive while the plain body keeps it graceful.

What jewellery suits plum and gold?

Antique gold or kundan jewellery picks up the zari and suits plum beautifully. For a lighter look, pearls with gold settings work well. Keep it to one statement piece so the brocade stays the focus.

What blouse styles suit silk linen?

Silk linen has a natural linen texture with a subtle sheen, which suits clean, structured blouses: boat necks, high necks, collars and elbow-length sleeves all look sharp. For evenings, a deeper back or a sleeveless cut adds drama. Keep embellishment minimal so the woven brocade stays the focus.

How do I iron it?

Use a low heat setting and press with a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the saree, especially over the brocade, so the woven motifs aren't flattened or shined. Iron from the reverse where you can. A light press before draping gives clean pleats.

Is the blouse included in the saree length?

Yes. The 6.3 to 6.4 metres includes the blouse piece, which comes attached. After you separate it, the saree length suits a standard nivi drape with neat pleats and a good fall to the pallu.

Can I hand wash silk linen?

We recommend dry cleaning only. Both the hand-dyed colour and the woven brocade stay at their best away from water and detergent, and dry cleaning protects the silk's sheen. For small spills, blot gently and leave the rest to a dry cleaner who handles silk.
