Reflective Banarasi Pure Silk Linen Saree Royal Blue

What is the Reflective saree's pallu like?

The pallu is striped, with fine silver zari stripes on the royal blue. Small silver diamond butis run across the lower body and along the side borders, so the shine is spread through the saree. Drape the pallu open to show the stripes.

How do I keep the royal blue at its best?

Keep it to dry cleaning only, and if it ever gets damp, dry it in the shade. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly, and let it air somewhere free of moisture from time to time.

Can the blouse piece be tailored to my size?

Yes. It comes as an attached length of fabric, so your tailor can cut it off and stitch it to your exact measurements, sleeve length and neckline. A soft cotton lining makes it more comfortable against the skin.

How do I iron it?

Use a low heat setting and press with a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the saree, especially over the brocade, so the woven motifs aren't flattened or shined. Iron from the reverse where you can. A light press before draping gives clean pleats.

Is the blouse included in the saree length?

Yes. The 6.3 to 6.4 metres includes the blouse piece, which comes attached. After you separate it, the saree length suits a standard nivi drape with neat pleats and a good fall to the pallu.

Why is a Bhagalpur saree called Banarasi?

Banarasi here refers to the brocade technique and motif style, which takes its name from Banaras. This saree comes from our Bhagalpur hub and uses that Banarasi brocade approach on a hand-dyed silk-linen base, with silver diamond butis woven in.
