Crimson Slub Linen Wax Batik Hand Dyed Saree Red

What motifs does this saree carry?

Scattered white round flower motifs sit across a raspberry red body, spaced out so the red stays the main colour. The saree has a light look, cheerful but not busy, and the dense vine pallu gives it a richer finish.

How are the border and pallu finished?

The border is a silver stripe band with a white vine pattern. The pallu is filled with dense vine batik and ends in tassels, so the detail builds up over the shoulder. The silver gives a gentle sheen against the raspberry red.

What occasions is it suited to?

Festive gatherings come first: the raspberry red and silver border bring a celebratory feel. It is also a cheerful pick for a kitty party or brunch, works for office days, and the breathable linen makes it a good companion for summer travel.

How should I wash it?

Wash it separately and by hand with a mild detergent, since it is hand dyed. Rinse promptly, and dry it in the shade rather than strong sun so the raspberry stays bright. Press the water out in a towel instead of wringing.

What length is it?

It measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, with the blouse piece attached. That is enough for a neat nivi drape, with the dense vine pallu falling over the shoulder so its tassels show.

What jewellery works with it?

Silver picks up the striped border: oxidised jhumkas, bangles or a silver neckpiece. For a festive look, a statement choker works well. Pearls keep it light for brunch or office.
