Hawa Hawai Embroidery Mul Cotton Saree Crimson Red

What gives the Hawa Hawai saree its charm?

Small white daisies with bright yellow centres are scattered across the crimson red mul, and the saree is finished with tassels. The white details lighten the red, giving it a playful, fresh look.

Is the embroidery all over?

No, it is half embroidery work: the small white daisies are worked on one half of the saree rather than covering it completely. That keeps the crimson base prominent and the light mul cotton easy to drape, and tassels finish the pallu.

What blouse would you pair with it?

No blouse is included. A white blouse picks up the flowers, black gives a sharp contrast, and a gold blouse makes the crimson look festive. For office days, a simple white or red cotton blouse keeps it easy.

Is it handloom?

Yes, it is a pure handloom mul cotton saree with embroidery. Small irregularities in the weave and the stitching are part of handmade work, so no two pieces come out exactly alike. The fine mul cotton is soft, light and breathable, which makes it comfortable in hot weather.

How should I wash it?

Gently, by hand, with a mild detergent, and on its own rather than with other clothes. Don't rub or scrub over the embroidered flowers; press the water out instead of twisting the cloth. Dry it in the shade, out of direct sun, so the crimson keeps its depth. Mul is a fine fabric and rewards a light hand.
