Craft Couture Blockprinted Kota Doria White & Red Saree

Can I see the Kota weave on this saree?

Yes, clearly. The pale body lets the Kota checks show as a soft grid texture, with branching tree sprigs printed lightly across it. It is pure cotton Kota Doria, so the texture comes from the weave itself, not from the print.

What is the border like?

A wide red border printed with tiny flower buttis frames the saree, finished with a gold-tone edge. It is the main colour on the saree and gives a clean, traditional frame to the light body, with the pallu kept in simple contrast.

How should I care for it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent and wash it separately. Dry it in the shade to protect the colours, and avoid twisting the fabric hard, since the open Kota weave is fine and light.

When would I wear it?

It is made for summer and travel, when an airy pure cotton saree feels right. It also looks smart at the office, works for everyday wear, and its red and cream palette with a gold-tone edge suits temple visits and puja at home.

What blouse would suit it?

A red blouse matches the border and gives the classic red-and-cream look. For something softer, try a cream blouse with red piping. Gold jewellery picks up the gold-tone edge without making it heavy.
