Heritage Hues Modal Silk Golden Yellow Saree

How much contrast is there between the body and the pallu?

Very little, and that is the charm of it. The body is a golden yellow and the pallu is gold, so the whole saree reads tonal, with the pallu showing more as a change in shine than in colour. It is a soft, glowing look rather than a sharp contrast.

Is the yellow bright or muted?

It leans towards a deep golden yellow, close to mustard, rather than a bright lemon, with a glossy, crushed sheen across the body. That warm depth works well at the office, and it looks equally right at a puja or a festive evening.

What is modal silk?

Modal silk blends silk with modal, a semi-synthetic fibre made from beech tree pulp. It combines the softness and breathability of modal with the sheen of silk, so the fabric is lightweight, smooth and durable, which makes it comfortable for a long day at the office or a puja.

Does the saree come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A matching running blouse piece is attached, so it is the same golden yellow as the body. The total length is 6.3-6.4 metres with the blouse, and you simply cut the piece off and have it tailored to your preferred neckline.

Can I pair it with a contrast blouse instead?

Certainly. Since the saree is tonal and plain, a contrast blouse changes its mood a great deal: maroon, bottle green or deep blue makes it festive, while an ivory or gold blouse keeps it light. The matching running blouse is there if you want a clean one-colour look.

How should I store it?

Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly and air it in non-humid conditions. It is dry clean only, and if it ever needs drying, do it in shade.
