Chitrika Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Dark Lavendar

What is painted on the blouse?

A Durga face in a playful, illustrated style, with large eyes, a third eye, a crown and pink skin, framed by dark hair against a white panel. It feels warm and friendly rather than formal.

How does the deep purple read with it?

The saree is a deep plum-purple khadi with black and pink tassels. The pink in the painting and in the tassels connects the two pieces, and the white panel brightens the dark saree.

Can I wear it to the office?

Yes, office wear is what it suits first; the understated dark purple khadi looks neat and composed at work. It is also easy everyday wear, and light enough for summer outings and travel. A plain blouse lets the Durga face on the pallu speak for itself.

What comes in the box?

The 6.4 to 6.5 metre saree and a 1 metre hand-painted blouse fabric. Nothing is pre-stitched, so you can plan the blouse cut around where you want the face to sit.

Will the plum colour bleed?

Deep colours on cotton can release a little dye early on. Wash the saree by itself and the blouse by itself, gently by hand with a mild detergent, and dry them in the shade.
