Earthloom Handdyed Khadi Cotton Saree Eclectic

How do the diagonal blocks look once the Eclectic saree is draped?

The Eclectic saree has a peach and white base cut through with diagonal blocks of blue and pink. Because the blocks run at an angle, they shift and overlap as you pleat, so the pattern looks different at the waist, across the body and over the shoulder. The pallu is striped, which gives the end a slightly calmer finish.

What kind of blouse balances these colour blocks?

A solid blouse works best with a pattern this lively. Powder blue or a soft pink picks up the blocks, while white keeps the look fresh and light. If you want more contrast, a deeper blue blouse grounds the pastel base nicely.

Is it comfortable for summer?

Yes. Khadi cotton is handspun and handwoven, so it breathes well and stays cool against the skin in warm weather. The soft peach and white base also looks and feels light, which makes it easy to wear on hot, humid days.

How long is the saree?

It measures 6.4 to 6.5 metres, enough for a regular drape with full pleats and a comfortable pallu length. A 1 metre blouse piece comes with it, the same as the model is wearing, so you can have a blouse stitched to your own fit.

How should I wash it?

Wash the saree separately, by hand, in a mild detergent, keeping it away from other clothes. Do not soak it, and dry it in the shade rather than in strong sun. This gentle routine keeps the peach and white base fresh and the blue and pink blocks clear.

What does handloom hand-dyed mean for this saree?

The khadi fabric is woven on a traditional handloom and then coloured by hand. Hand dyeing gives each piece its own slight variations in shade and pattern, so no two sarees turn out exactly alike.
