Sophisticated Banarasi Silk Linen Blue Handloom Saree

What is woven on the Sophisticated saree's border?

A wide gold brocade border of floral motifs runs along the edge of a shimmering steel-blue body, and the pallu is heavily worked. Steel blue with gold is a classic, polished combination, and the border is broad enough to show clearly in the pleats and on the pallu.

What jewellery suits steel blue with gold?

Antique gold picks up the brocade border and adds warmth for festive evenings and temple visits. Pearls give it a classic look for the office, and silver or oxidised pieces keep it cool and modern. For something bolder, try a single cuff with statement earrings.

Can I wear it to the office?

Yes. Steel blue with a gold border looks polished and professional for work. It also suits evening dinners, kitty lunches and festive events, and it is a graceful choice for temple visits and pujas. The silk linen blend is soft and breathable, so it stays comfortable through the day.

Is the blouse piece matching or contrast?

It is a matching blouse piece, attached to the saree and designed to complement the drape, which gives you a coordinated look straight away. If you enjoy contrast, the saree also takes a solid blouse in another colour well, and the matching piece can be stitched as a second option.

How should I store it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly and air it in non-moist conditions. When it needs pressing, use a low-heat iron with a cloth between the iron and the saree to protect the gold brocade.

Why might the shade differ slightly between sarees?

Because the colour is hand dyed, and minor irregularities are natural in handcrafted pieces, so allow for a slight difference in depth of shade. Screens also show colours differently. The variation is small, and it is part of what makes a hand-dyed saree its own.
