Handcrafted Kota Silk Green Plain Saree

What does the zari look like on this Kota saree?

Fine gold zari lines form small checks across the body, a narrow gold border runs along the edge, and the pallu opens into broad zari bands finished with tassels. The detailing is light and fine, so it adds a gentle shimmer rather than weight.

Why is it called a plain saree when I can see gold lines?

Plain here means there are no motifs, prints or embroidery. The fine gold lines follow the check structure of the Kota weave, so they read as texture rather than pattern. The result is a clean, minimal saree with just enough zari to lift it.

How sheer is Kota Doria?

Kota Doria is a light, sheer fabric woven from cotton and silk yarns in small square khat checks. Wear a well-fitted petticoat in a matching shade so the drape looks solid, especially in bright daylight.

Does it come with a blouse?

Yes. A blouse piece is attached to the saree, and the total length including it is 6.3 to 6.4 metres. Cut the blouse portion off before draping and have it stitched to your fit.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds from time to time and let it air out so the fabric breathes. If it ever gets damp, dry it in the shade.

Will every piece look exactly the same?

The colour is achieved by hand dyeing, so there can be slight differences in tone from one saree to the next, and screens show colour differently too. These small irregularities come from handwork and are part of what makes each piece individual.
