Goonj Chanderi Silk Toned Maroon Ajrakh Printed Saree

How do the body and pallu differ on this Goonj saree?

The body is covered in small round medallions in maroon and red, which read almost like a texture from a distance. The pallu then opens into a cream panel with large black and red motifs, so the shoulder drape is lighter and bolder than the pleats.

What is the border like?

A red selvedge with a navy and red diamond border runs along the edges, with a fine gold line. It is neat rather than wide, framing the small-medallion body and leaving the cream pallu to carry the drama.

What occasions is it meant for?

Office wear leads; the small maroon medallions look composed and professional. The cream pallu also makes it a good choice for festive events, evening dinners and kitty parties or brunches with friends.

Will the maroon bleed onto the cream pallu?

Hand block-printed colours need gentle handling, and the cream panel is the part to protect. Dry clean only, never soak it, and keep it dry in storage. If it gets wet, dry it promptly in the shade.

How does it feel to drape?

Light and easy. The handloom Chanderi silk-cotton is lightweight and breathable, so the saree does not feel heavy even with the printed pallu thrown over the shoulder. It stays comfortable through long hours at a desk or on your feet.

Is there a blouse piece with it?

Yes, a blouse piece is attached to the saree. The full length, including the blouse piece, is 6.3 to 6.4 metres, so you can have a matching blouse made or pair it with one you own.
