Ret Ki Chhaya Ajrakh Printed Chanderi Silk Saree Dark Purple

What is the lotus pallu like?

The pallu opens into a cream band printed with large lotus motifs in red and black, much bigger in scale than the rest of the print. It is the strongest feature of this Ret Ki Chhaya saree, and draping the pallu wide across the shoulder shows the lotuses best.

How does the body print look?

The deep aubergine body is filled with paisley buti, closely spaced so the pattern feels rich without being loud. The border pairs a cream and rust patterned band with a plain edge in the body colour, so the saree finishes softly instead of with a hard contrast line.

What is the length of the saree?

It measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, including a blouse piece that comes attached. Your tailor cuts the blouse portion away before stitching. The remaining length is the saree for pleats and pallu, and there is no separate blouse fabric to source.

Is Chanderi comfortable for long hours?

Yes. Chanderi silk cotton is lightweight and breathable, so the saree stays easy through a full workday or a long evening. It sits lightly on the shoulder, pleats without bulk, and doesn't feel heavy even with the denser print.

How do I look after it?

Have it dry cleaned only. Store it folded in a separate bag, in a dry cupboard, and refold it along different lines now and then. Airing it in dry, non-humid weather helps keep the silk fresh. If it gets damp, let it dry in the shade.

Where will it look right?

It is suited first to the workplace, where the deep shade and close paisley look composed. Festive occasions and evening dinners suit it equally, with the lotus pallu carrying the moment, and it also fits a kitty party or a relaxed brunch with friends.
