Craft Couture Blockprinted Kota Doria Orange & Black Saree

What sets the pallu apart?

The pallu is a dense black floral jaal set against a bright orange body. It is a strong, graphic contrast, so the shoulder drape becomes a bold statement while the body stays open, with small white tree sprigs printed across it.

What is the border like?

A blue buti band with a gold-tone edge runs along the border. The blue is an unexpected cool accent between the orange and black, and it gives the Craft Couture saree a crisp, finished frame.

How do I wash it?

Use a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent and wash it separately. Dry it in the shade rather than direct sun to protect the orange and the dark pallu, and press the water out gently instead of wringing.

Which blouse would you pair with it?

A black blouse continues the pallu and keeps the look sharp. For something brighter, a blue blouse picks up the border and plays against the orange. Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the graphic contrast well.

Who printed this saree?

It is hand block printed on pure cotton Kota Doria at the Indiehaat unit in Kota, Rajasthan, under master artisan Haq Nawaz. Each motif is stamped by hand with carved wooden blocks, so small variations between pieces are natural.
