Enchanting Silk Linen Embroidered Handloom Yellow Saree

What does the embroidery look like?

Small floral sprigs are scattered across the whole body: tiny blossoms in blue, pink and white on fine green stems. It is an all-over pattern rather than a single border, so the saree looks embroidered from every angle, including the pleats.

How are the border and pallu finished?

A gold border runs along the edges, and the pallu carries a series of fine gold stripes across the width. Against the light, fresh base, the stripes give the pallu a neat, structured look that balances the busy floral body.

Can I wear it to work as well as to festive events?

Yes. A kitty lunch or brunch is where it fits best, as the yellow and floral embroidery feel bright and cheerful. It also works for regular office wear, and the embroidery feels celebratory enough for festivals. Silk linen breathes well, so it is comfortable for an evening dinner or summer travel too.

Is it actually handloom?

Yes. It is a handloom saree from Bhagalpur, woven from silk and linen yarns blended together, then embroidered and hand-dyed. Because so much of it is done by hand, you may notice small irregularities in the weave or slight shifts in colour from one piece to the next. Those are the marks of a hand process, not defects.

What colour is the blouse piece?

The blouse piece is in the pallu colour and comes attached at one end of the saree. Cut it off along the end before tailoring. The total length of 6.3 to 6.4 metres includes it.

Can I wash it at home?

No, this saree is dry clean only, which protects both the hand-dyed colour and the embroidery. Between wears, store it in its own bag in a dry place, refold it along new lines now and then, and air it on dry days.
