Bold Pure Silk Kota Doria Handdyed Green Saree

Where can I wear this Kota saree?

Office days first: a plain Kota with a fine gold border looks crisp and professional. It also suits temple visits and pujas, dinners and evenings, kitty lunches and brunches, and festive days. It is light enough for summer and travel.

What does it look like?

It is a soft moss green with a plain body and a narrow gold border along the edges, and a subtle fine texture in the weave. The look is clean and minimal, so it is easy to dress up or down.

Who made it?

It is handcrafted at the IndieHaat unit in Kota under master artisan Haq Nawaz, and the colour is dyed by hand. Small variations in tone come from that hand process, and they are part of what makes each handcrafted piece its own.

What blouse goes with it?

The saree comes with an attached blouse piece that matches. A gold blouse would pick up the border and make it dressier, while maroon, rust or a deep pink make good contrasts.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in a dry place in its own bag, refold it regularly, and air it in non-humid weather. When it does need drying, dry it in the shade, and keep it out of strong sunlight.
