Unique Handwoven Pure Linen Black Saree

How does the red border sit against the black body?

The black body is framed by a wide red border along the hem and a red band at the pallu, so it is a classic two-colour saree with no other pattern. The contrast is strong and clean, and small red tassels finish the pallu end.

Which blouse colours work with the Unique saree?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour, which keeps the red and black story intact. For a change, a black blouse with red piping makes the border stand out, and a mustard blouse gives a warmer, more relaxed look.

How should I wash it?

Dry clean it if you can. If washing at home, give it a gentle handwash with a mild detergent, wash it on its own since it is hand dyed, don't leave it soaking, and dry it in the shade, away from direct sun.

What length is the saree?

The Unique saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, with the blouse piece attached in the pallu colour. That gives you enough for a regular drape with full pleats, and the wide red border frames the black neatly along the hem.

Where is it woven?

It is a handwoven pure linen saree from Bhagalpur. As with any handcrafted piece, you may notice small irregularities in the weave, and those are what give each saree its own character.
