Earthloom Handdyed Khadi Cotton Saree Joyful

How is the patchwork on the Joyful saree laid out?

The Joyful saree is made up of broad blocks of pink, peach and lavender, with blue and white in between. The blocks run through the body and continue into the pallu, so the soft patchwork carries across the whole drape. Tassels add a playful finish at the end.

What blouse colour suits these pastels?

Lavender or blush pink keeps the look soft and coordinated. A blue blouse brings out the cooler blocks, and white keeps it light. Dainty silver or pearl jewellery suits the gentle palette.

Is a blouse piece included with the saree?

Yes. The saree comes with a 1-metre blouse piece, the same as the one the model wears. You can stitch it to match the look shown or pick a cut that suits you.

Is it breathable enough for hot weather?

Yes. Khadi cotton is handspun and handwoven, so it breathes well and stays cool in summer. It is light enough to wear comfortably through a busy day, and the soft pastels look fresh even when the weather is not.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, keeping it apart from other clothes, and dry it in the shade. This keeps the pastels from fading and stops the pink and blue blocks from marking the white areas.

Why does each piece look slightly different?

The fabric is woven on a handloom and dyed by hand, so the placement and depth of the blocks vary a little from saree to saree. Small irregularities are part of handcrafted khadi.
