Goonj Chanderi Silk Cool Blue Ajrakh Printed Saree

What does the print on this Goonj saree look like up close?

The body carries a lattice of geometric star flowers in mustard and blue on a deep navy ground, set at a medium scale so it reads clearly from across a room without feeling busy. Close up you can see the cream outlines and small black details that give Ajrakh its layered, crisp look.

How is the pallu different from the body?

The pallu breaks away into a cream panel with floral motifs, so when you drape it over the shoulder the lighter section sits against the darker lattice of the pleats. It is the most heavily printed part of the saree and gives the drape a clear focal point.

Which occasions does it suit best?

It is first an office saree: the medium-scale lattice and matte finish look polished at work without being loud. It also suits festive gatherings, evening dinners and kitty parties or brunches, where the cream pallu panel adds a little more presence.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the full length of 6.3 to 6.4 metres includes it. The package holds one saree with the attached blouse, so you have a matching option ready for your tailor.

Is the Chanderi fabric see-through?

Chanderi is a light, slightly sheer handloom silk-cotton, so a well-fitted petticoat matters. A navy or dark blue petticoat will blend with the ground; avoid white or very pale ones, which can show through the lighter cream pallu section.

How should I wash and store it?

Dry clean only. Store it in its own bag in a dry place, refold it now and then along different lines, and let it air regularly in dry, non-moist air. If it ever needs drying, keep it in the shade rather than in direct sun.
