Joyful Silkmark Certified Chanderi Silk Brown Saree

What shade of brown is it?

A warm cinnamon brown, with a pale gold chevron border and a pallu with fine pale stripes. The warm brown and gold read rich and earthy rather than dull, so it works for office days and dresses up with gold jewellery for a puja or an evening out. The silk is Silkmark certified.

What blouse colour pairs with brown?

Black, maroon, teal or gold blouses work well with brown. Antique gold jewellery suits it. Pick the blouse by occasion: black or teal for a crisp office look, gold or maroon for festive days. The attached pallu-colour blouse gives a classic, matched look.

Which events does it suit?

Office first, then temple visits and pujas, dinners, kitty lunches and brunches, and festive days. Warm brown chanderi looks composed at work, appropriate at a puja, and the gold-toned border dresses it up for evenings and celebrations.

What does Silkmark certification mean?

Silk Mark is a certification from the Silk Mark Organisation of India that guarantees the fabric is genuine silk. On this chanderi saree it assures you of the authenticity and purity of the silk, a detail you cannot judge by eye or on a screen.

How wide is the border?

The border is 8.5 inches wide, a pale gold chevron design against the plain cinnamon-brown body. With the body kept plain, the border and the striped pallu carry the design, giving a clean graphic line when the pleats fall.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then and air it in non-moist air regularly. If it ever needs drying, dry it in the shade, away from direct sun.
