Chamak Pure Mul Cotton Sequin Black Saree

What does the sequin work look like?

Small gold sequin dots are scattered sparsely across the semi-sheer black body, and the pallu ends in small tassels. The work is sequin gini, combining sequins with tiny metallic beads in a traditional handwork technique, so you get a soft, shimmering effect without heavy embellishment.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

No. The saree is sold without a blouse, at about 5.4 to 5.5 metres. Black is an easy base to pair: a gold tissue, a mirror-work or a simple ivory blouse all work, depending on how dressed up you want it.

Is mul cotton comfortable in heat?

Very. Mulmul is made from fine cotton yarns, so it is soft, lightweight and breathable, and it is known for its comfort and drape in hot climates. That makes this black saree easy to wear on warm days, with the sequins adding sparkle without weight.

Is the sequin work done by hand?

Yes. Sequin gini work is a traditional handwork technique, sequins combined with tiny metallic beads, and the base is a handloom mul cotton. That is why the sequin placement shows small irregularities; they are part of a handcrafted piece and make each saree slightly different from the next.

How should I wash it?

Gently, by hand, with a mild detergent, and on its own rather than with other clothes. Don't rub or scrub over the sequins; press the water out instead of twisting the cloth. Dry it in the shade, out of direct sun, so the black keeps its depth. Mul is a fine fabric and rewards a light hand.
