Virasaa Roop Silkmark Handloom Saree Bright Orange

How bright is the orange, really?

It is a vivid, warm orange, the kind that reads as celebratory from across a room. The soft silk sheen and the narrow gold zari panel on the pallu make it glow in daylight, so it is at its best at daytime festivals, pujas and engagement functions.

What blouse can I pair with the orange?

Rani pink and magenta with orange is a classic Indian pairing, and deep green or purple make strong contrasts too. A gold blouse keeps it festive. If the orange is already enough colour for you, the running blouse in the same shade keeps the look simple.

Is the silk genuine?

Yes. The saree is Silkmark certified pure silk, so its silk content has been verified and you know you are getting natural silk fibre. It is handloom woven, with a rich texture and a graceful drape.

Is it handwoven?

Yes, on a handloom in Bengal, without electricity. You may notice small variations in the weave as you look closely. These are typical of handwork and are part of what makes each piece individual.

Will the bright colour bleed when washed?

It may, so wash it separately, a sensible precaution with any strongly coloured silk. Use cold water and a mild detergent, do not soak it for long, and dry it in the shade. Keep it away from white or pale clothes in the wash.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

It comes with a running blouse, woven in the same orange silk as part of the length. The saree measures 6.4 to 6.5 metres, and your tailor cuts the blouse from the end before stitching.
