Trikon Katha Kota Silk Coal Gray Jacquard Saree

How dark is the grey, and what is the pattern?

It is a deep charcoal grey with a matte finish. Small gold-toned triangles sit on thin wavy lines across the body, and a narrow gold zari edge runs along the borders. The grey keeps it easy to wear to work, while the gold lifts it for evenings.

What blouse colours work with coal grey?

Bright contrasts look great against it: hot pink, mustard, red or emerald. Silver and black keep it sleek and modern. A blouse piece also comes attached to the saree, so your tailor can stitch it to your measurements in the style you like.

Is the pattern woven in?

Yes. The design is created by jacquard weaving, which builds the pattern into the Kota silk on the loom by lifting chosen warp threads. Nothing is printed on, so the gold triangles and wavy lines are part of the cloth itself.

Is it comfortable for office wear?

Very. Kota silk is lightweight with an airy texture, and a dark neutral like charcoal grey suits a workplace. Press it on low heat before wearing and pin the pleats at the waist so the drape stays neat through the day.

How do I care for it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. If needed, a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent in cold water is fine. Wash it on its own, do not wring, and dry it in the shade to keep the colour even.

Is the blouse piece included?

Yes. It comes attached to the saree, within the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length. Cut it off along the end and have it tailored to your measurements and preferred neckline, so it is ready to wear with the saree.
