Striped Kota Slub Sequence Pallu Saree Hand Dyed Green

What shade of green is this saree?

A deep teal-green with fine stripes and small sequins scattered across the body. The pallu is plain in contrast and finishes in a wide gold-toned band at the end, which catches the light alongside the sequins.

What blouse goes with teal-green?

Gold ties in with the band, and mustard, coral or magenta give a warm contrast. A matching teal keeps it tonal and calm. Antique gold jewellery suits the deep green particularly well.

What does 'slub' mean?

Slub yarns are spun with deliberate thick and thin areas, which gives the fabric a textured, slightly uneven surface. It is part of the handcrafted look rather than a flaw. On this saree, that texture sits alongside the fine stripes and scattered sequins on the Kota Doria silk.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes, a blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. Your tailor will separate it from the end before stitching, which leaves a comfortable length for the drape itself.

Can I wash it at home?

Yes, gently. Dry cleaning is preferred, but a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent is fine. Wash it on its own, since it's hand dyed, don't wring or scrub it, and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun.
