Nirmal Pure Khadi Cotton Stylish Handloom Saree

What does this saree look like when draped?

It is colour-blocked: an orange-red pallu set against panels of blush pink and deep maroon. With no zari or motifs, the colours do all the work, and the khadi's slub texture keeps the look soft and earthy rather than flashy.

Which blouse colour suits the red and maroon combination?

A maroon blouse gives a clean, grounded look. For something lighter, try the blush pink of the saree or an off-white. Avoid a third strong colour; the saree already carries plenty of punch.

How long is it, and is the blouse part of it?

It measures 6.4 to 6.5 metres and includes a running blouse, which means the blouse fabric is woven in continuation of the saree. Your tailor cuts it from one end.

Will the reds bleed?

Wash it separately to be safe, especially the first few times. Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, on its own, and dry it in the shade. Keep it apart from whites and light clothes, and avoid long soaking or wringing.

Does khadi feel rough at first?

Khadi has a natural, slightly textured hand because the yarn is handspun. This one is soft, breathable and lightweight, with the earthy texture khadi is known for, and each piece carries a unique irregular weave that adds to its character.

Can I wear it on a hot day?

Yes, that is where it shines. It is made first for summer days and travel, and it also suits a day at the office and everyday wear. The khadi is soft, breathable and lightweight, so it stays comfortable through long, warm hours.
