Noor-e-Linen Hand Dyed Sunshine Yellow Saree

Where would the Noor-e-Linen saree work best?

It is made for summer and travel: light linen in a sunny shade that stays cool and packs easily. It is equally at home at the office, at a kitty party or brunch, and as an everyday saree when you want something bright but simple.

What is the border like?

A pale silver-cream border runs along the edges, and near the pallu it opens into stripes in the same tones. Against the lemon-yellow body it reads soft and fresh, and tassels finish the pallu.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash it gently in a mild detergent, keep it separate from other clothes, and dry it in the shade. Bright hand-dyed shades like this one hold their colour better away from direct sunlight, so avoid drying it in strong sun.

How does the linen feel?

Linen comes from the flax plant and has a crisp texture with a slightly coarse, slubbed look. It is breathable and lightweight, which suits hot and humid days, and it softens over time, so the saree settles into an easier drape the more you wear it.

How long is the saree?

The saree measures 5.4 to 5.5 metres, and an 80 cm blouse piece comes with it. That is a comfortable length for a regular drape with neat front pleats and the striped pallu over the shoulder.
