Madhubani Slub Linen Warm Mustard Saree

What is on the pallu of this Madhubani saree?

A wide pallu filled with folk figures in brown, rust and olive green, with touches of white, sits against a warm body sprinkled with small bird-like motifs. A narrow printed band edges the pallu, which ends in tassels. The earthy palette keeps the busy folk scenes easy on the eye.

Where can I wear it?

It is an easy office saree first, warm in colour but calm in pattern. It also suits summer days and travel, a temple visit or a puja at home, and a kitty party or brunch with a little more jewellery.

Is the blouse piece part of the saree?

Yes, it comes attached, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. For the blouse, brown or rust ties in with the pallu figures, olive green gives a softer contrast, and white keeps it light.

How is it made?

The fabric is slub linen, and the Madhubani designs are block-printed onto it. Madhubani is a folk art from Mithila in Bihar, known for scenes from nature, mythology and daily life, and this pallu follows that tradition with its figures and animals.

Will the warm tones fade or bleed?

Block-printed colours do best with gentle care. Wash it by hand, separately, in a mild detergent, and dry it in the shade, out of direct sun. Avoid soaking it for long, and don't leave it bunched up while damp.
