Mustard, with a black pallu
Warm mustard yellow through the body with flower buti spaced across it, blocked horizontally against a black pallu banded in metallic gold.
The design
The buti are small and evenly spread on the mustard. The black pallu is banded across its width in metallic gold and carries the floral motif at a larger scale. A double design zari border, two parallel patterns, holds both long edges. The bugdi border is woven so that its design reads the same on both faces.
How it is woven
Woven by master weaver Aafreen and the master-weaver households of Mominpura, Maheshwar, on a pit loom with the weft inserted by hand.

Colour
Every handloom saree is individually woven by skilled artisans. Slight variations in weave, texture, and colour are natural characteristics of handcrafted textiles and reflect the authenticity of genuine artisan craftsmanship. Colours may vary slightly between screens and in natural light
Dispatch
Held in stock rather than made to order. About half of orders leave the same or next day, most within two to three days, and most orders within India are delivered in three to seven days.
In Mominpura, the weaving quarter of Maheshwar, the loom sits below floor level and the weaver works down into it, inch by inch.
Mustard into black is the most abrupt shift in this range, and it is woven, not stitched: the weaver carries the yellow body its full length, then changes to black across the pallu and lays the gold banding over it.
The border is bugdi, woven so that its design reads the same on both faces, and it is a double design, two parallel patterns running the edge.
The saree is featherlight and semi-sheer off the loom, soft in the hand, and the faint unevennesses in it are the evidence of hand weaving.

3. What proves this is handwoven?
It is handwoven on a pit loom, with the weft inserted by hand and the patterning on body, border and pallu set on a dobby. It is woven on a pit loom in Mominpura, Maheshwar, Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh. The Handloom Mark is held with the registration on record, and every piece is checked before it leaves us. Nothing we sell is machine-woven.
4. What does bugdi mean?
Bugdi describes the woven border design, which reads the same on both faces of the border. It is a feature you can turn over in your hand and see for yourself.
5. What is a flower buti?
Buti is the small woven motif scattered across a saree, worked into the cloth on the loom rather than printed or embroidered on afterwards. A flower buti is that motif in a floral shape. On this saree they are small and evenly spaced on the mustard, and larger within the gold banding of the black pallu.
6. Will I need a petticoat with this?
The body is semi-sheer, which is what gives the saree its weight of 350-360 g and its 44-46 GSM. Wear it with a petticoat in a matching or complementary shade. The same lightness is why it drapes softly and holds its pleats through a long evening.
7. What if the colour is not what I expected?
Every handloom saree is individually woven by skilled artisans. Slight variations in weave, texture, and colour are natural characteristics of handcrafted textiles and reflect the authenticity of genuine artisan craftsmanship. Colours may vary slightly between screens and in natural light If the shade does not match or you are unhappy with the quality, we will exchange the piece.
8. How do I look after it and store it between wears?
