Golden Yellow Flower Buti Handloom Maheshwari Silk Saree with Royal Blue Pallu | Sangam

Golden yellow, royal blue pallu

Mustard-toned golden yellow across the body with flower buti spaced through it, and a royal blue pallu striped in gold at the end of the drape.

The design

The buti are small and sparse on the yellow. The royal blue pallu is striped horizontally in metallic gold, with larger floral motifs worked between the stripes. A double design zari border, two parallel patterns, runs the length of both edges. The bugdi border is woven so that its design reads the same on both faces.

How it is woven

Woven by master weaver Aafreen in Mominpura, the weaving quarter of Maheshwar, on a pit loom with the weft inserted by hand.

Colour

Every handloom saree is individually woven by skilled artisans. Slight variations in weave, texture, and colour are natural characteristics of handcrafted textiles and reflect the authenticity of genuine artisan craftsmanship. Colours may vary slightly between screens and in natural light

Dispatch

Held in stock rather than made to order. About half of orders leave the same or next day, most within two to three days, and most orders within India are delivered in three to seven days.

Master weaver Aafreen works in Mominpura, in Maheshwar, at a loom set into the floor of the room. The weft goes in by hand. The buti and the borders are lifted on a dobby.

Royal blue against golden yellow is a hard pairing to get right, because the blue will swallow the yellow if the proportion is even slightly wrong. The stripes of gold across the pallu are what hold the balance.

The border is bugdi, its design reading the same on both faces, whichever way the pleat happens to fall.

The cloth is featherlight and semi-sheer, soft after its first clean rather than stiff. The faint unevennesses in it are the record of a hand at the loom.

What is on the pallu?
Royal blue striped horizontally with metallic gold, carrying medium flower buti between the stripes, set against a golden yellow body with smaller buti.

What comes in the set, and how long is the saree?
An unstitched Maheshwari silk drape measuring 6.3-6.5 m in total length and 45-46 inches wide, weighing 350-360 g at 44-46 GSM. The total length includes an attached, unstitched blouse piece of 80-90 cm, which is included in the stated price. Fall, pico and edge finishing are not done before dispatch, but we will do them on request.

Is this genuinely hand-woven?
It is handwoven on a pit loom, with the weft inserted by hand and the patterning on body, border and pallu set on a dobby. Yes. It is woven in Mominpura, Maheshwar, Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh. The Handloom Mark is held with the registration on record, and every piece is checked before it leaves us. Nothing we sell is machine-woven.

What does bugdi mean?
Bugdi describes the woven border design, which reads the same on both faces of the border. It is a feature you can turn over in your hand and see for yourself.

What is a flower buti?
Buti is the small woven motif scattered across a saree, worked into the cloth on the loom rather than printed or embroidered on afterwards. A flower buti is that motif in a floral shape. On this saree they sit sparsely across the yellow body and larger between the gold stripes of the blue pallu.

How sheer is the body?
The body is semi-sheer, which is what gives the saree its weight of 350-360 g and its 44-46 GSM. Wear it with a petticoat in a matching or complementary shade. The same lightness is why it drapes softly and holds its pleats through a long evening.

How close is the delivered shade to the images?
Every handloom saree is individually woven by skilled artisans. Slight variations in weave, texture, and colour are natural characteristics of handcrafted textiles and reflect the authenticity of genuine artisan craftsmanship. Colours may vary slightly between screens and in natural light If the shade does not match or you are unhappy with the quality, we will exchange the piece.

What is the care routine for this saree?
Dry clean only. Air-dry in shade without wringing, iron inside out on low to medium heat under a cotton press cloth, then store the saree wrapped in breathable cotton or muslin in a cool dark cupboard, refolding it every three to six months. Home washing is not recommended.

Which events does this suit?
Festival and festive dressing, formal and ethnic occasions, party wear, lighter daytime events, and weddings or receptions as a guest.

What is your return and exchange window?
