Iraaya Pure Handloom Jayashree Silk Linen Saree Rust

What does the pallu look like?

The pallu is a wide band of shimmery copper-gold zari, finished with knotted tassels. The body is a plain rust with the slubbed texture of handloom silk linen, and a narrow rust edge with gold thread runs along the borders, so the gold carries along the length.

What blouse colours go with it?

A teal, bottle green or navy blouse gives a clear contrast to the deep, warm body; mustard or ivory keeps it soft. Copper or antique gold jewellery suits it and picks up the zari pallu, and the running blouse that comes with it is the simplest choice.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A running blouse piece in matching silk linen comes with the saree. Your tailor cuts it from the saree length and can stitch it to any design you like. If you prefer a contrast, the plain body makes it easy to pair with a separate blouse too.

Is it really handwoven?

Yes. It is pure handloom, woven on traditional looms in Bengal without electricity. Look closely and you will see small irregularities in texture and slub, especially when light falls across the body. Those variations are the mark of a hand loom, not defects.

Can I wash it at home?

Yes. A gentle hand wash with mild detergent is fine. Wash it on its own, especially the first few times. Dry it in the shade, away from direct sun, and do not wring the zari pallu.

What blouse styles suit it?

Silk-linen's crisp texture suits structured blouses. A boat or high neck with elbow sleeves looks elegant for work, while a deeper back with a tie or tassels feels dressier for evenings. Keep the blouse plain so the zari pallu and the slubbed texture of the body stay the highlight.
