Noor Bandhej Pure Kota Silk Saree Yellow Orange

How are the yellow and orange arranged?

One end is a warm orange, which shades into a sunny yellow covering most of the drape. The white bandhej dots show softly against the yellow and more sharply against the orange, and the slim gold border runs along both edges.

What blouse would look good?

An 80 cm blouse piece is included with the saree. A yellow blouse gives a matching look. For contrast, an orange blouse picks up the shaded end, while a deep green or royal blue blouse makes the yellow glow.

What does Kota silk feel like?

Light and airy, with a soft shine from the silk. The cotton in the weave gives it strength, and the fine square khats give it an open texture that stays comfortable through a warm day.

Can it be hand washed?

Yes. Use a gentle hand wash with mild detergent, wash it separately because the colours are hand dyed, and dry it in shade. Pale shades like yellow are best kept away from strong sun while drying.

Are the small variations a flaw?

No. The saree is handcrafted at the Indiehaat unit in Kota under master artisan Haq Nawaz, and the bandhej is tied and dyed by hand, so the dots and the shading vary a little from piece to piece. Minor irregularities are part of a handcrafted saree.
