Harmonious Banarasi Silk Linen Maroon Handloom Saree

What is woven on the Harmonious saree in maroon?

A broad gold-toned brocade border of floral motifs runs along the edge of the maroon body. The warm zari against the deep wine shade gives it a rich, traditional look, while the plain body keeps it wearable.

What blouse suits maroon with gold brocade?

The attached matching blouse keeps it rich and tonal. For contrast, a gold or mustard blouse picks up the zari, while bottle green or teal makes the maroon pop. Antique gold jewellery completes it.

What occasions does the Harmonious saree in maroon suit?

Festive family occasions come first: maroon with gold brocade looks warm and rich. It is also a natural choice for a puja or temple visit and an evening dinner. Because silk linen breathes and the colour stays restrained, it works at the office and at a kitty party or brunch too.

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.

Will the colour match the photos exactly?

Close, with two caveats. It is hand dyed, so the depth of colour can vary slightly from batch to batch, and screens show colours differently. The variation is small and natural to hand processes.
