Nakshi Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Violet

What is the border like on this one?

A wide band of shimmery lilac runs along the edge, a lighter, softer tone of the deep body colour. The pairing is tonal, so it looks refined rather than loud, and the shimmer adds a gentle festive glint to an otherwise simple khadi drape.

Are there tassels at the ends?

Yes, the ends are finished with small tassels, which add a little movement to the pallu as you walk and make it look finished when you let it fall loose. When washing, smooth them out by hand while damp so they dry straight.

How is the embroidery made?

The tiny white flowers are digital embroidery, stitched by machine onto handwoven khadi cotton. This gives crisp, uniform motifs across the body and pallu. The handloom fabric underneath is what gives each saree its own slightly varied texture.

Any tips for draping khadi?

Press the pleats firmly with a warm iron before draping. A light starch gives a crisper, structured look for work, while unstarched it falls softer. Use safety pins at the shoulder and waist to keep everything in place through the day.

How do I keep the embroidery neat?

Iron on the reverse, never directly on the motifs, and keep the iron off the shimmer border. Store it folded in a cotton bag rather than plastic, and refold it along different lines now and then so the creases don't wear the fabric.

Is the blouse included?

Yes, as a running blouse. It is part of the same 6.4–6.5 metre length and is cut off from the end before stitching. Because it is the same khadi, the blouse matches the saree's fabric and texture.
