Goonj Chanderi Silk Jade Green Ajrakh Printed Saree

How does the lattice look on this Goonj saree?

Large rounded-diamond medallions in red and cream are spread across a deep green ground. The contrast between the red and the green is strong, and the cream outlines sharpen every shape, so the lattice looks vivid from a distance and detailed up close.

What is the pallu end like?

After the printed body, the saree finishes in a plain green pallu end edged by a red floral border with a green edge and a gold line. The plain end makes the drape look clean and lets the medallions in the pleats do the talking.

Which occasions can I wear it to?

Wear it to the office first; the deep green ground keeps it grounded and professional. It also comes into its own at festive events, evening dinners and relaxed kitty lunches or brunches.

What blouse colour works best?

Red is the obvious match, picking up the medallions for a festive look. A black blouse makes it sharper for evenings, and a mustard or ochre blouse adds warmth if you want something less expected.

How should I clean it?

Dry clean only. Between wears, keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, refold it occasionally so the creases shift, and air it in the shade rather than in direct sun.
