Earthloom Handdyed Khadi Cotton Saree Radiant

What colours run through the Earthloom Radiant?

Wide horizontal stripes of teal, maroon, pink and plum run across the saree from end to end. The cool teal balances the warmer maroon and pink, so the mix looks rich rather than loud. The pallu continues the stripes and finishes in tassels.

How do the stripes look when pleated?

Since the stripes run across the fabric, the pleats show stacked bands of colour, and the wrap around the waist shows a different mix again. The pallu opens up the stripes fully. It gives a lot of movement and interest without any print or zari.

Which blouse colour should I go with?

Pick one of the stripe colours. Teal gives a cool, fresh look; maroon or plum feels deeper and more grown up. A plain black blouse also works and makes the stripes stand out. Keep the blouse plain so the saree does the talking.

How should I wash it?

Be gentle with it. Wash it on its own in cool water with a mild detergent, do not soak it, and dry it in the shade straight after washing. Press the water out rather than wringing, so the teal, maroon, pink and plum stripes stay clear.

Does the saree come with a blouse piece?

It does. You get a 1 metre blouse piece along with the 6.4 to 6.5 metre saree, the same as shown on the model. That gives you a full drape plus enough fabric to have a blouse stitched in the neckline and sleeve you like.

Is it comfortable for a full day?

Yes. Khadi is lightweight and breathable and is known for keeping you cool in summer, so it does not feel heavy through a long day at the office or on the move. The wide teal, maroon, pink and plum stripes also stay cheerful from morning to evening.
