Chitrika Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Bottle Green

What does the blouse show?

A folk-art scene on a red ground: a white-bearded man seated under a canopy in a boat, with a woman and a large pot beside him and water below. It is a colourful, story-like panel that rewards a closer look.

How do red and green pair here?

The saree is a plain bottle green khadi with green tassels. Red and bottle green are a classic contrast, so the outfit looks traditional while staying light. The tassels match the saree.

What is in the package?

One pure khadi cotton saree of 6.4 to 6.5 metres with a running blouse. The blouse is 1 metre of hand-painted fabric in red, showing the boat scene. It comes unstitched, so you can centre the scene on the back or front. Plan the placement with your tailor first.

Is khadi heavy?

No. Pure khadi cotton is soft and breathable, and this plain weave looks light, so it is easy to wear through a full day. That makes it a natural pick for summer days and travel, as well as the office. Each piece carries the gentle irregular weave of handspun, handwoven cotton.

How do I clean the painted blouse?

Hand wash it separately with a mild detergent, dry it in the shade and iron it on the reverse. Keep it apart from the green saree in the wash. Dry it flat if you can.
