Earthloom Handdyed Khadi Cotton Saree Regal Red

What does the olive-brown pallu bring to the Earthloom Regal Red?

The body is a plain deep red, and the pallu changes to a broad, earthy olive brown. It tones down the red and gives the saree a grounded, natural feel. The pairing is unusual and looks considered, and the tassels add a soft finish at the end.

Is the fabric smooth or textured?

It has a gentle slub texture from handspun khadi. You can see the thicker and thinner threads in the red, which gives it a handmade depth. The finish is matte, so the colours look soft and natural.

Which occasions is it suited to?

Think office first: a deep red with an earthy pallu looks smart without being loud. It is just as good for daily wear, and the red makes it a natural pick for a temple visit or a puja at home. Light khadi keeps it comfortable through summer and on the road.

Is there a blouse piece?

Yes, a 1 metre blouse piece comes with the saree, the same as the one on the model. The saree is 6.4 to 6.5 metres long. You can have it stitched in the style you like, from a simple round neck to a sleeveless cut.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash it gently in mild detergent and keep it apart from other clothes. Press the water out instead of wringing, and dry it in the shade so the red stays deep and the olive-brown pallu stays rich. Smooth the tassels before it dries.

What jewellery suits it?

Gold suits the deep red and makes it feel ready for a temple visit or a puja at home, while oxidised silver plays up the earthy olive-brown pallu on office days. Keep it simple: small jhumkas, a few bangles or a slim chain let the colour block stay the focus.
