Trikon Katha Kota Silk Dark Maroon Jacquard Saree

How dark is dark maroon?

It is a deep brown-maroon, close to chocolate, with small gold triangle butis and a copper-tan pallu end lifting it. It suits warm gold jewellery and feels rich without being loud. Expect slight differences from your screen, as displays vary.

Is the pattern visible on such a deep shade?

Yes, clearly. Small gold-toned triangles are scattered across the dark maroon body, with fine vertical lines running between them and a narrow gold zari edge along the border, so the pattern stands out rather than hiding in the shade. The pallu end switches to a plain copper-tan, which adds a second, warmer tone to the drape.

Which blouses work best?

Mustard, gold, peach or a soft pink make good contrasts against dark maroon. A gold brocade blouse makes it dressy for festive occasions. The blouse piece comes attached if you prefer to stitch your blouse from the saree itself.

Is it light enough for summer?

Yes. Kota silk is a lightweight, sheer fabric prized for its airy texture, and the pattern is woven in rather than added on top. A deep shade in a light fabric is a good way to look dressed up on a warm day without feeling weighed down.

What care does it need?

Dry cleaning is preferred. For a gentle hand wash, use a mild detergent in cold water, wash it separately from other clothes, and dry in the shade. Store it folded in a cotton bag in a dry cupboard.
