Gulnaar Pure Linen Handloom Saree Green & Red

What does this saree look like?

The body has stripes of red, orange and green, edged with a narrow orange border. The pallu turns to a deep green woven with large cream roses and bands of fine gold lines, finished with tassels. Green and red together feel warm and traditional.

How do the roses look on green?

The cream roses are large and set across the dark green, with fine gold stripe bands running between them. They stand out clearly but softly against the deep ground, giving the pallu a rich, woven look.

Where can I wear it?

Summer days and travel come first, where linen is at its most comfortable. It also suits the office, a kitty lunch or brunch, and everyday wear, and the green and red with fine gold lines give it enough colour for a festive day too.

Which blouse suits it?

A bottle green blouse matches the pallu and looks polished. A red or orange blouse brings out the stripes for a brighter look. Gold jewellery suits the woven roses, and a small red bindi completes it nicely.

Is the blouse piece the same fabric?

Yes, a running blouse in the same linen is included, so the blouse will match the saree in texture. The saree measures 6.4 to 6.5 metres, and the blouse fabric can be cut and stitched to your own fit.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately, as the green and red are strong dyes. Dry it in the shade, and iron on medium heat while the fabric is slightly damp for a smooth finish.
