Eri Silk Saree White Hand Cutwork

What is the design on the Eri silk saree?

The ivory body has fine pinstripes, with small purple flowers scattered across it and delicate hand cutwork. The pallu shades into a purple ombre with gold stripes and finishes with tassels. It is a light, airy design with the colour concentrated at the pallu.

What fabric is it?

Eri Tussar silk, finished with hand cutwork, where small sections of the fabric are cut away by hand to leave a delicate, lace-like pattern. The ivory ground keeps it light, and lets the purple and gold of the pallu stand out.

Is the blouse attached?

Yes. The saree is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long and comes with a blouse piece attached, in the pallu colour. Have it cut and tailored; a purple blouse picks up the pallu, gold accents echo its stripes, and a plain cut suits the light, scattered design.

Where can I wear it?

Festive occasions suit it first, and the light ground makes it equally good for office parties, evening dinners and kitty brunches. With the pallu pleated and small earrings it is quiet enough for a dressier day at the office.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly and air it in dry conditions. Pale fabrics show marks easily, so handle it with care.
