Rangini Banswara Cotton Silk Saree Smoky Black

What is the design on this Rangini saree?

A dark charcoal base with fine pinstripes, scattered with small hand-embroidered roses in red and white that stand out sharply against it. A gold border runs along the edge, and the pallu carries bold gold stripes finished with tassels. The fabric has a gentle sheen.

How does the pallu come across when draped?

The gold stripes on the pallu are broad, so on the shoulder they read as a strong, rhythmic band of shine against the dark body. It is the boldest part of the saree, and it balances the small roses scattered across the rest.

How should I store and clean it?

It is dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry spot, change the fold lines from time to time, and let it air in dry weather so the fabric does not absorb moisture. Dry it in the shade if it ever gets damp.

Does it come with a blouse?

Yes, a separate 80 cm blouse piece is included with the 5.5 to 5.6 metre saree. The blouse the model wears is for the shoot only, so you can stitch yours in whatever style you prefer.

What blouse suits the charcoal base?

Red is the natural match, picking up the roses for a festive feel. Gold echoes the pallu stripes and border and makes it dressier. For a crisp everyday look, a white or ivory blouse works well. Charcoal is cool and dark, so clear, bright colours suit it better than muddy ones.
