Eri Silk Rama Green Saree Handcrafted

What does this saree look like?

It is a bright turquoise rama green, embroidered with small white arrow-like motifs in neat rows on fine lines across the body. The white on turquoise is crisp and cool, and the geometric pattern gives it a clean, modern look.

How is the pallu finished?

The pallu has wide gold bands alternating with rama green stripes, finished with tassels. The gold warms the cool turquoise and adds a festive touch, while the white arrows on the body keep it fresh.

What is rama green?

Rama green is a traditional name for a blue-leaning green, close to turquoise. On this saree it reads as a bright turquoise-teal, set off by white arrow-leaf embroidery on the body and broad gold stripes on the pallu, so it pairs naturally with gold.

Which blouse would you pair with it?

A white blouse echoes the arrows and keeps it fresh. A gold blouse is festive, and a pink or magenta blouse gives a bold contrast. Silver jewellery suits the white motifs.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A blouse piece in the pallu colour comes attached, and the total length is 6.3 to 6.4 metres. Cut the blouse portion off along the end before stitching, and keep the edge neat so it does not fray.

How should I look after eri silk?

Dry clean only. Keep it in a separate cloth bag in a dry place, refold it along different lines now and then, and let it air in dry weather. Bright turquoise keeps its colour best out of strong sun.
