Goonj Chanderi Silk Inky Blue Ajrakh Printed Saree

What is the border like on this Goonj saree?

A black band with a cream temple-triangle edge and a red diamond band. The triangles give the saree a classic temple-style frame around the teal-blue medallion body, and the black ties in with the maze pallu.

What makes the pallu stand out?

It switches to a bold black-and-cream maze pattern, much more graphic than the ornate flower medallions in the body. When draped, the maze gives the shoulder a strong, modern-looking accent.

What blouse would you suggest?

Black matches the border and pallu for a sharp look. Cream softens it and picks up the maze. For contrast, a red blouse draws out the diamond band and makes it feel festive.

Does it drape well?

Yes. Handloom Chanderi silk-cotton is lightweight, so it does not weigh on the shoulder, and it is breathable and comfortable for long hours. Chanderi is known for its elegant drape, and the bold black-and-cream maze pallu gives the shoulder a strong accent.

What is Chanderi silk-cotton?

It is a handloom blend of silk and cotton, known for being lightweight, breathable and slightly sheer, with an elegant drape. It comes from the Chanderi weaving tradition of Madhya Pradesh and suits warm weather well.

How should I clean and store it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, away from other printed fabrics. Change the folds now and then so creases do not set, and air it in the shade to protect the print.
