Vaanya Pure Linen Textured Handloom Saree

Why is it called Textured?

The large colour-block checks of magenta, blue, purple and orange are crossed with fine white lines, which give the surface a lined, woven look, and the linen itself has a natural slub texture you can see and feel.

What do the tassels look like?

The saree is finished with bright tassels that pick up the colours of the checks and add a playful finish that swings as you walk. Handle them gently when washing, and lay the end flat to dry so the tassels don't tangle.

Is linen good for summer?

Yes. Linen is breathable and stays cool on the skin, which makes it suitable for long hours and warm days. The saree is light to wear, so it works well for summer travel, the office and everyday use.

What blouse goes with it?

A purple or blue blouse looks smart for the office. A pink or yellow blouse is brighter for a day out. A white blouse picks up the fine stripes and keeps the look fresh.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes, a running blouse piece is included, and the total length is 6.4 to 6.5 metres. Cut the blouse portion off before stitching, and ask the tailor to line up the checks and fine lines neatly at the seams.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent in cool water, separately from other clothes, and dry it in the shade. Avoid wringing the tasselled end; press the water out in a towel instead. Linen is durable, so with this gentle care it will last you a long time.
