Iraaya Pure Handloom Jayashree Silk Linen Saree Indigo

How deep is the indigo?

It is a muted mid indigo with a slate grey-blue cast, and the slubbed handloom texture gives it a soft, washed look. The broad copper-gold zari pallu and narrow copper edge warm it up, so the saree looks calm but not plain.

Is it good for workwear?

Very. The denim-blue reads calm and polished, and handloom silk-linen looks crisp in meetings. Keep the pallu pleated and pinned, wear small studs, and the zari pallu adds just a hint of finish.

Is the blouse running or contrast?

It is a running blouse, woven as part of the saree in matching silk-linen fabric. Ask your tailor to cut it off before draping. A plain blouse in the body colour keeps the look clean and lets the zari pallu stand out.

Is it really handwoven?

Yes. It is pure handloom, woven on traditional looms in Bengal without electricity. Look closely and you will see small irregularities in texture and slub, especially when light falls across the body. Those variations are the mark of a hand loom, not defects.

What blouse styles suit it?

Silk-linen's refined texture and structured drape suit tailored blouses. A boat or high neck with elbow sleeves looks elegant for work, while a deeper back with a tie or tassels feels dressier for festive days. Keep the blouse plain so the zari pallu and the slubbed texture of the body stay the highlight.

How do I care for it?

We recommend a gentle hand wash with mild detergent, washed separately and dried in the shade. Press the water out rather than wringing, and handle the zari pallu gently while ironing. Store it folded in a cotton cloth and refold it now and then so creases do not set.
