Myraaj Pure Cotton Handloom Saree Bright Blue

What does the saree look like?

It is a saturated peacock blue with a plain body, and the pallu is a wide panel of dark bronze zari finished with blue tassels. The metallic pallu against the clear blue gives it a festive touch without any work on the body.

Where does the shine come from?

Only from the pallu. The body is plain cotton, and the broad zari panel at one end gives the saree its festive feel when draped over the shoulder, so the saree reads plain from the front and dressy from behind.

Is it light enough for travel?

Yes. Pure cotton is lightweight, soft and breathable, so it is comfortable on the move and in warm weather, and the bright blue looks fresh in daylight. That makes it an easy saree for trips and long summer days.

What jewellery suits it?

Gold jewellery ties in with the bronze zari pallu, while silver looks crisp with the bright blue. Keep it simple; the pallu does most of the work. Small earrings are enough, and a slim bangle or two finishes the look.

How long is it?

The saree is 6.4-6.5 metres long, including a plain running blouse. Cut the blouse portion off and have it stitched to your fit, or pair the saree with a contrast blouse in gold or white for a different look.

How should I care for it?

Hand wash with a mild detergent, separately, and dry it in shade. Bright blues keep their colour longer away from direct sun. Handle the zari pallu gently and do not wring it.
