FAQ +

How are the motifs arranged?

The body is scattered with small antique gold floral butis set in neat rows, leaving plenty of plain aubergine silk between them. The border and pallu then turn dense, with botanical vines and floral motifs woven closely in metallic zari. The quiet body and heavy pallu give it a classic Banarasi balance.

What shade is deep aubergine?

A rich plum, a purple with red in it, that reads warm in daylight and deepens towards wine under evening lights. It is a softer alternative to maroon at a wedding. Gold, polki or temple jewellery all sit comfortably with the antique gold zari.

Which occasions suit it best?

Weddings and receptions come first; the heavy zari pallu is made to be seen in a crowd. It is equally right for an engagement or roka, a puja or temple visit, a formal dinner and the big festivals. Its quieter aubergine body keeps it from feeling over the top at smaller gatherings.

How long is the saree, and what comes with it?

The saree is about 5.5 to 5.75 metres long, and a matching blouse piece of 0.75 metres comes with it. The blouse piece is separate, so you can have it stitched in any style, from a simple round neck to a deep back with zari-edged sleeves.

Is it comfortable to wear for hours?

Mashru Alfi katan silk is lightweight yet durable, smooth to the touch and comfortable for long wear. It falls gracefully and holds its pleats, so it stays neat through a wedding, a reception or an engagement. The heavier zari sits in the border and pallu rather than across the body.

How should I iron it?

On low heat only, with a protective cloth between the iron and the saree, especially over the border and pallu where the zari is densest. Do not spray water on the silk, since moisture can mark it. For anything beyond a light press, take it to a dry cleaner, as the saree is dry clean only.
