Nirmal Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Orange

What shade of orange is it?

A clear, bright orange, warm and cheerful. The pallu ends in tassels of red-orange tufts on white threads, a small contrast detail that adds depth to the plain body. The body is plain, so the colour does all the work.

What blouse works with bright orange?

Orange looks striking with a deep green, a navy or a magenta blouse. White keeps it summery and light, and a black blouse gives it a modern, graphic edge. Keep the blouse plain if you want the saree colour to lead.

How should I wash it?

Wash it on its own to be safe: a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, then dry it in the shade. Avoid long soaking and don't wring it hard; press the water out gently instead and let the khadi dry flat or on a line in the shade.

Is it handwoven?

Yes, it is a handloom saree in pure khadi cotton, handspun and handwoven in Bengal. Slight unevenness in the yarn is a normal sign of handwork. Minor irregularities are the uniqueness of handcrafted products.

What petticoat should I wear?

An orange cotton petticoat is ideal. If you cannot find an exact match, a slightly deeper orange or a rust works better than white, which can show at the pleats.
