Trikon Katha Pure Kota Silk Saree Chinese Black

What does the Trikon Katha design look like on the black?

Small gold-toned triangles are scattered across the black body, with fine gold lines running across the width between them, and a narrow gold border along the edges. The pallu end is dyed a bright sky blue that fades into the black, so the saree is two-toned rather than all black. The motifs are woven in, not printed.

What blouse works with a black Kota saree?

A black blouse gives a sleek, all-black look that suits work and evenings, while a sky-blue one picks up the pallu. For contrast, red, magenta, mustard or a silver brocade all look striking against black. Silver or oxidised jewellery sits well with it, and a single statement pair of earrings is often enough.

Is black Kota see-through?

Kota is a lightweight, sheer fabric with an airy texture, so some show-through is possible in strong light. A black petticoat keeps the line seamless; a lighter petticoat can show at the pleats and the pallu edge, so match it to the body colour.

Will the black fade with washing?

The colour is hand dyed, so careful washing matters. Dry cleaning is preferred. For a home wash, use cold water and a mild detergent, wash it on its own, and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun. Store it in a saree bag once it is fully dry.

How long is it, and is there a blouse piece?

The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, and that length includes the blouse piece. The blouse fabric comes attached at one end, so have it cut off neatly before you take it to your tailor, and keep the rest for the drape.
