Earthloom Handdyed Khadi Cotton Saree Crisp Green

What makes the purple pallu work with green?

The body is a plain, deep teal green, and the pallu changes to purple. Green and purple is a rich, jewel-like pairing that stands out without needing print or zari. When draped, the purple sits over the shoulder and frames the green front.

Where can I wear it?

Start with the office: the deep green body keeps it composed, and the purple pallu adds personality. It slips easily into everyday wear, and breathable khadi makes it a sensible choice for summer and for trips.

What is the finish like?

Matte and soft, typical of khadi. The colours look deep rather than shiny, and the natural texture of the handspun yarn gives the plain body some interest even without a pattern.

Will I get a blouse piece?

Yes, a 1 metre blouse piece is included, the same as worn by the model. The saree is 6.4 to 6.5 metres long, a full length for most drapes. It gives your tailor enough fabric for a classic blouse with short or elbow sleeves.

Which petticoat works best?

A dark green or teal cotton petticoat suits the body best and keeps the drape looking seamless. Cotton keeps it breathable, which matches the khadi. Avoid a light petticoat, which can look patchy where the pleats move and open as you walk.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash gently in mild detergent and wash it separately from other clothes. Do not soak or wring it. Dry it in the shade to keep both the deep green and the purple rich, and smooth the tassels out by hand before it dries.
