Impressionistic Banarasi Silk Linen Red Handloom Saree

What is woven on the Impressionistic saree's border?

A broad brocade border with large floral motifs runs along the red body, worked in red with silver-toned highlights. Because the brocade is tonal, red on red, the pattern reads rich and textured rather than loud.

Will the red stay vivid?

Hand-dyed reds keep their depth with a little care. Dry clean only, air and dry it in the shade, and keep it away from sunny windows, since strong light dulls deep colours. Refolding it every few months stops the colour wearing along one crease.

What occasions does the Impressionistic saree suit?

Festivals lead: red with a tonal brocade border looks rich and auspicious. It also suits a puja or temple visit and dinners out, and the border is restrained enough for the office. The light, breathable silk linen keeps it comfortable at a kitty lunch too.

Is the blouse piece matching or contrast?

It is a matching blouse piece, attached to the saree and designed to complement the drape, which gives you a coordinated look straight away. If you enjoy contrast, the saree also takes a solid blouse in another colour well, and the matching piece can be stitched as a second option.

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 refers to the brocade technique and motif style, which comes from Banaras. This saree is woven in Bhagalpur, a hub known for silk and linen weaving, using that Banarasi brocade approach on a silk-linen base.
