Banaras Bloom Kota Silk Banarasi Border Saree Green

What is the border on the Banaras Bloom saree?

A fine checked zari band in gold and silver runs along the edges, in the Banarasi style. It is narrow and detailed rather than wide, which keeps the saree light-looking and fresh.

How does the pallu look against the mint body?

The pallu is a plain panel with a pale gold sheen, a gentle contrast to the fresh mint body. When draped, it catches the light at the shoulder without looking heavy.

Does the saree include a blouse piece?

Yes. The blouse piece is attached, and the saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres including it. A pale gold blouse matching the pallu looks graceful; a peach or coral blouse adds a fresh contrast.

Is mint Kota silk sheer?

Kota silk is an airy weave, and pastels like mint can look a little sheer. Choose a mint or skin-toned petticoat so the body looks even and smooth, especially out in the sunlight.

Is it comfortable for summer?

Yes. Kota silk is lightweight with an airy texture, and it has long been a favourite in warm climates. The pale mint looks fresh in the heat, and the light drape makes it an easy pick for summer travel or a brunch with friends.

How do I care for it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. For a home wash, use a gentle hand wash with mild detergent, keep it separate since it is hand dyed, and dry it in the shade to help protect the colour.
