What is woven on the Mesmerizing saree's border?
A wide silver brocade border with floral motifs runs along a deep royal-blue body, and the pallu end has tassels. The silver brocade against the shimmering royal blue makes the pattern stand out clearly.
What jewellery goes with royal blue and silver?
Silver and oxidised jewellery suit the zari and keep the look cool and composed. For festive evenings, kundan or antique gold adds warmth against the deep royal blue. Pearls make it classic for the office, with a single strand and small studs.
Is this saree suitable for work?
Yes. Royal blue and silver look smart and composed at the office. It also suits evening dinners, kitty lunches and festive events, and is appropriate for temple visits and pujas. The silk linen is soft and breathable, with a subtle sheen from the silk.
Does it come with a blouse piece?
Yes. A matching blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. Have your tailor cut it off before the first drape and stitch it to your measurements and preferred neckline.
Does silk linen feel soft or crisp?
Both, in a way. Silk linen blends the luxurious feel of silk with the natural texture of linen, so you get a soft, breathable fabric with the characteristic linen texture and a subtle sheen from the silk. It is a fabric chosen for both elegance and durability.
Are the motifs printed or woven?
Woven. The border and pallu are worked in Banarasi brocade, a weaving craft, so the silver floral pattern is part of the cloth itself rather than printed on top. Banarasi brocade represents the artistry and tradition of Indian textiles and has long stood for luxury and elegance.
Why might the shade differ slightly between sarees?
Because the colour is dyed by hand, and minor irregularities are part of every handcrafted piece. Screens also show colours differently, so the hue you see may vary slightly from the saree in your hands. The variation is small, and it is part of what makes a hand-dyed saree its own.
