Timeless Silk Linen Embroidered Mustard Saree

Where can I wear it?

It suits festivals best, as the sunny shade and embroidered pallu look celebratory. The plain-leaning body also makes it easy for an office party, dinner, kitty lunch or brunch, and regular office days. The warm mustard also looks right for a temple visit or a puja at home.

How much embroidery is on the body?

Very little: small floral butis are spread lightly across a largely plain body. The richer embroidery sits on the pallu, which also ends in tassels. It is a good choice if you like a cleaner look.

What makes the saree hand-crafted?

It is woven from silk and linen in Bhagalpur, embroidered, and hand-dyed. Because of these hand processes, small irregularities in the weave or colour are natural and make each piece unique.

What blouse colours suit it?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour. For contrast, maroon, bottle green or royal blue work beautifully against the warm yellow base, and black gives a modern look.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it folded in its own bag in a dry place, refold it every few months, and air it on dry days. Iron from the reverse to protect the embroidered pallu.
