Gulnaar Pure Linen Handloom Saree Pink

What is the design on the Gulnaar saree?

The body is striped in hot pink and coral, with a narrow coral edge. The pallu is the heavy part: large cream roses with fine zari lines, finished with tassels. The rose design gives the linen its festive side, while the stripes keep the body easy for everyday wear.

Are the roses woven or printed?

They are woven. The rose design is part of the handloom weave, so the motifs are built into the linen on the loom rather than printed or stitched on afterwards. Small variations between the roses are part of a handwoven saree, not defects.

Is pure linen good for hot weather?

Yes, that is where linen is at its best. Flax fibre breathes well and absorbs moisture, so the saree keeps you cool in warm weather. It has a crisp yet soft texture and softens with use, so it only gets more comfortable over time.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A running blouse is included, and the saree measures 6.4 to 6.5 metres in all. Cut the blouse portion off along the end before handing the saree to your tailor, and have it stitched to the neckline and sleeve length you like.

Which blouse would you pair with the pink?

An orange or mustard blouse picks up the stripes and looks cheerful for daytime. A deep magenta keeps it tonal, while a gold or beige blouse echoes the woven roses. Oxidised silver or simple gold jewellery both suit the linen.

Can I wash it at home?

Yes. Give it a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent. Wash it separately and dry it in the shade, away from strong sun. Iron while slightly damp to bring back the smooth linen finish, and avoid wringing the zari lines on the pallu.
