Striped Katan Silk Saree Marlin Blue Handcrafted

What does the pallu look like?

The pallu is wide and striped in gold, the boldest part of the design. Finished with tassels, it brings the eye up to the shoulder, so draping it loose or in wide pleats shows it off best.

How is the border finished?

A wide gold border runs along the hem, framing the body and balancing the striped pallu. It gives the saree a polished, finished look and adds a festive glint along the lower edge.

What is Katan silk?

Katan is silk woven from twisted yarn, which makes the fabric smooth, durable and slightly lustrous. On this saree the charcoal ground has a slightly slubbed texture, scattered with small red and white rose motifs that soften the dark base.

Does it include a blouse piece?

Yes. The blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the full length including it is 6.3 to 6.4 metres. Cut it away and have it tailored to your measurements.

How should I care for it?

Dry cleaning is preferred, though a gentle hand wash with mild detergent is also fine. Wash it separately, because the colour is hand-dyed, avoid wringing, press out the water gently and dry it in shade. Fold the gold pallu with care so it does not crease sharply.

Will each piece look the same?

Each saree is hand-dyed and finished by hand in Bhagalpur, so small differences in tone and detail are normal. Those minor irregularities are part of handcrafted work. Screens can also show colours slightly differently.
