Nirmal Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Green

What kind of green is it?

A deep teal, a cool and rich shade, with a matte, earthy khadi texture and matching teal tassels. The body is plain, with no border or zari, so the colour does all the work, which suits office days and everyday wear.

What blouse would you pair with teal?

Teal looks lovely with mustard, rust, coral and magenta. For a quieter look, try off-white or a soft gold blouse. Sleeveless or elbow-sleeve cuts both sit well with khadi. A handloom blouse keeps the whole look in the same textured family.

How long is it?

6.4 to 6.5 metres in all, including a running blouse that is part of the same length, in the same deep teal. Your tailor cuts the blouse piece from one end before stitching, and the rest is yours to pleat and drape.

Is it handspun?

Yes. It is pure khadi cotton by cotton, handspun and handwoven in Bengal, with cotton used in both warp and weft and no blend. Khadi is known for its earthy texture, breathability and durability, and each piece carries a unique irregular weave.

How should I wash and store it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, on its own, or opt for dry cleaning. Avoid long soaking or wringing, and dry it in the shade to keep the deep teal fresh. Store it folded in a muslin cloth, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
