Oceanic Pure Linen Floral Embroidered Blue Saree

What is special about the pallu?

The pallu breaks into wide stripes of pink and maroon, a warm contrast to the cool aqua body. It ends in tassels that mix teal and pink, so the colours of the body and the pallu meet right at the edge.

How is the embroidery placed?

Flower bouquets with leaves are embroidered in separate clusters across the body. A thin pink edge with a silver strip runs along the border and ties the aqua drape back to the pink and maroon pallu stripes.

Which occasions does it suit?

It is first a workwear saree: cool, light linen with embroidery that stays polite at the office. It also suits kitty parties and brunches, summer days and travel, and the office party, where the pink pallu adds a little more colour.

Does the blouse piece come with it?

Yes. The blouse piece comes attached to the saree, in the pallu colour, and is cut off before tailoring. Since the pallu brings in pink and maroon, a blouse in either shade sits naturally against the aqua drape.

Will the colour look the same as on my screen?

Very close, but screens differ, so the shade may look slightly different in person. Because the saree is handcrafted, small irregularities in the work are part of the piece and make each one a little different from the next.

What care does this saree need?

It needs dry cleaning only. Store it folded in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then so lines don't set, and air it out in dry weather. Keep it in the shade if it ever needs drying.
