Vaanya Pure Linen Warm Handloom Saree

What colours are in the Vaanya Warm saree?

It is woven in large colour blocks of magenta, purple, orange and black, crossed by fine light stripes that run through each block. The warm pinks and orange are balanced by the black, so it reads bold but grounded. The pallu ends in multicoloured pompom tassels.

Is the check pattern woven in?

Yes. It is a handloom saree, woven manually on a traditional loom, so the colour-block checks and fine white stripes are part of the cloth rather than printed on. The slub texture of the linen adds to its handwoven look.

Where can I wear it?

Summer days and travel come first, as linen is at its most comfortable in heat. It also suits office days, with a plain black blouse to calm the colours, and everyday wear when you want something bright.

Who wove it?

It is sourced directly from Roy Das, a handloom weaver from West Bengal, and woven by hand on a traditional loom. Slight variations in the blocks and stripes are natural to handloom work.

What blouse suits these colours?

A black blouse picks up the darkest block and keeps the look smart. Magenta or orange blouses make it brighter for a day out. Oxidised silver jewellery suits the handloom feel, and simple kolhapuris finish a relaxed look.

Will the colours bleed?

With so many colours woven together, always wash it separately. Use cool water and a mild detergent, avoid long soaking, and dry it in the shade. Pure linen also becomes softer with every wash.
