Dark pink, banded at the pallu

A solid dark pink body, checked tone on tone so the colour stays clean, with a broad banded pallu in metallic gold and beige.

The design

The checks sit close in tone to the pink, which keeps the body reading as one colour from a distance and as pattern up close. The pallu is banded horizontally in gold and beige across its full width. The bugdi border reads the same on both faces.

How it is woven

Handwoven on a pit loom in Mominpura, Maheshwar, with the weft inserted by hand and the patterning set on a dobby.

Craft & Story +

Woven in Maheshwar, Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh, on a pit loom, with the weft inserted by hand and the patterning set on a dobby.

Tone-on-tone checking is a quiet piece of skill. The weaver holds the pattern in a shade so close to the ground colour that from across a room the pink looks solid, and only at arm's length does the structure appear. Then the pallu opens out into gold and beige bands and the restraint pays off.

The border is bugdi, woven so the design reads the same on both faces.

The cloth is featherlight and soft, and it does not stiffen after its first clean. Small irregularities in it are the mark of a hand at the loom, present in a piece that is otherwise finished and checked.

FAQ +

Is the body plain, or is there a pattern in it?

There is a pattern, but you have to come close to see it. The checks are woven tone on tone, in a shade very near the pink, so from across a room the body reads as one clean colour and only at arm's length does the grid show. It is a quiet design that lets the pallu do the talking.

What does the pallu look like?

The pallu is banded horizontally in metallic gold and beige across its full width, so it opens out sharply after the restrained body. Fine gold stripes run through the beige section, framed by broader gold bands top and bottom, and the same gold carries along both borders.

Which occasions does the Lakeer pink suit best?

It is happiest at an evening dinner, where the gold pallu catches the light while the tonal checks keep the body calm. That restraint also makes it work at the office, and it suits festivals, an engagement or roka, and a puja or temple visit. Small gold jewellery is enough.

How sheer is it, and what should I wear under it?

The body is semi-sheer, which is part of why it feels so light. Wear it with a petticoat in a matching pink or a soft nude tone so the drape looks even. The fabric is featherlight Maheshwari silk and pleats easily, so a well-fitted petticoat is all you need.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. An unstitched blouse piece of 80-90 cm is attached to the saree and is included in the price. The total length is 6.3-6.5 m including that piece, so you simply cut it off and give it to your tailor.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only, with a professional cleaner. After cleaning, air it in shade without wringing, iron inside out on low to medium heat under a cotton cloth, and store it wrapped in cotton or muslin. Refold it every few months so the creases do not settle in one place.
