Sunshine Yellow Flower Buti Handloom Maheshwari Silk Saree with Green Pallu | Sangam

Sunshine yellow, green at the pallu

A bright, clean yellow body with flower buti spaced across it, and a pallu that changes to green in two tones.

The design

Repeating flower buti sit sparsely on the yellow. The pallu is bicoloured green, split into bands with metallic edging and larger buti worked inside. A golden geometric zari border frames both long edges of the drape. The bugdi border is woven so that its design reads the same on both faces.

How it is woven

Woven in Mominpura, the weaving quarter of Maheshwar, on a pit loom with the weft inserted by hand and the border set on a dobby.

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.

Woven in Maheshwar, Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh, on a pit loom, with the weft inserted by hand and the buti set on a dobby.

Yellow shows everything. There is no depth of colour to hide an uneven beat, so the weaver has to keep the rhythm steady across the whole body, placing each flower buti at the same interval, before the green of the pallu begins in two shades.

The border is bugdi, woven so its design reads the same on both faces.

The result is featherlight, semi-sheer and breathable, which is why a saree like this works in daylight and warm weather. The faint unevennesses in it are evidence of hand weaving rather than a flaw.

1. What does bicoloured mean on this pallu?
The pallu is worked in two shades of green rather than one, split into metal-edged bands with medium flower buti inside them, against a sunshine yellow body.

2. What exactly arrives, and what are the measurements?
An unstitched Maheshwari silk drape measuring 6.3-6.5 m in total length and 45-46 inches wide, weighing 350-360 g at 44-46 GSM. The total length includes an attached, unstitched blouse piece of 80-90 cm in a contrast green, which is included in the stated price. Fall, pico and edge finishing are not done before dispatch, but we will do them on request.

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 in Maheshwar, Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh, by the master-weaver households of the town. 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. They are spaced evenly across the yellow body here, and repeated larger within the green bands of the pallu.

6. Is the fabric see-through, and what do I wear under it?
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. Will the colour I receive match the photograph?
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 should I clean and store it?
Dry clean only. Air-dry in shade without wringing, iron inside out on low to medium heat under a cotton press cloth, then store the saree wrapped in breathable cotton or muslin in a cool dark cupboard, refolding it every three to six months. Home washing is not recommended.

9. Where does a yellow like this work?
Daytime and lighter occasions especially, along with festival and festive wear, formal and ethnic events, party wear, and weddings or receptions as a guest.

10. What is your return and exchange window?
Returns and exchanges are accepted within two days, provided the piece is unused, with its tags intact and in its original packaging. Exchange is also offered where the colour does not match or you are dissatisfied with the quality.

11. When will it ship, and do you deliver outside India?
The saree is dispatched from stock, not made to order: about half of orders leave the same or next day and most within two to three days, with delivery in three to seven days for most orders in India. Shipping within India is free, cash on delivery is available, and we ship worldwide with international charges billed on actuals.
