Handloom Pure Linen Black Saree

What are the motifs on this saree?

Diamond-shaped buti in bright orange and magenta are woven into the saree, gathering most richly on the pallu and ends against the black. Narrow orange stripes run near the hem and tassels finish the pallu. The contrast keeps the saree simple to wear yet distinctive.

Is the blouse fabric separate?

The blouse is a running blouse, attached to the saree. The total length is 6.3 to 6.4 metres including the blouse portion, so the blouse length is cut off from the saree before stitching.

Is it really handloom?

Yes. It is woven on a handloom in Bengal from pure handloom linen, with the buti woven in rather than printed. Small irregularities in the weave or motifs are a sign of hand work, so each piece differs slightly.

How do I wash it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. For home care, hand wash gently with a mild detergent, wash it separately and dry it in the shade. This keeps the dark body deep and protects the contrast buti from losing colour.

What blouse colours suit it?

Pick up a motif colour: an orange or magenta blouse makes the buti pop, while a black blouse gives a sleek, single-tone line. For a softer look, try mustard or rust. Silver or oxidised jewellery works well with matte linen.

Is it suitable for daily office wear?

Yes, the office is where it fits best. The dark body and matte handloom linen look composed through a working day, and the light drape makes it easy to carry on summer trips. It is also simple enough to wear as an everyday saree.
