Goonj Chanderi Silk Flat Black Ajrakh Printed Saree

What sets this Ajrakh design apart?

Small red buti dot a black ground, while the borders carry a more detailed red and cream paisley band with a black edge and a fine gold line. The pallu end then shifts to blue teardrops, so the saree moves from red to blue as it drapes.

How does the blue pallu end sit with the rest?

It acts as a cool finish to a warm design. After the red buti and paisley borders, the blue teardrop band brings a second colour story to the shoulder, which means you can style the saree towards red or blue depending on your blouse.

Is it comfortable for long hours?

Yes. The handloom Chanderi silk cotton is lightweight and breathable, so it stays comfortable through a full day of work or an event. Its light weight keeps the pallu easy on the shoulder, and the fine red buti keep the look neat from morning to evening.

What is the feel of the fabric?

Light and airy, with an elegant drape. The handloom fabric blends silk and cotton, and it has the slight sheerness typical of Chanderi, so a black petticoat is the natural pairing. Its matte finish lets the red buti and paisley borders stand out against the black ground.

Any blouse ideas?

Go red to match the buti and border, or blue to pick up the pallu end and give the look a modern twist. A boat neck or V-neck works well with the fine print, and a short or elbow sleeve keeps it versatile.

What length is it?

It measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres including the attached blouse piece. That leaves enough for a comfortable nivi drape with full pleats and a well-placed pallu once the blouse portion is separated.
