What happens on the pallu?

On the pallu, the white kantha dashes gather into wider bands, so the stripes grow bolder towards the end. It gives the shoulder a clear focal point while the body keeps the finer dashed rows, and tassels finish the edge.

What gives the stripes their broken look?

The stripes are made of kantha running stitch, worked as short white dashes with gaps between them. Because each stitch is placed individually, the lines are never perfectly uniform, and small variations from piece to piece are part of the craft.

How does it look when draped?

It looks light, with a slub texture that gives a natural, matte surface. The white kantha rows add texture rather than heavy work, and the striped pallu gives the drape a clear finish. It moves from the office to an evening dinner with just a change of blouse.

What occasions is it right for?

Workwear first: the bright base with fine white rows looks cheerful yet tidy at the office. It also suits festive gatherings, kitty parties and an evening dinner, especially with a dressier blouse and a pair of statement earrings.

What is the right care routine?

Dry clean whenever possible. For a home wash, hand wash gently with a mild detergent, keep it separate since the base is hand dyed, and dry it in the shade. Iron on low heat from the reverse to keep the stitches flat.
