Aabha Roop Handloom Pure Tissue Cotton Saree Copper

What does the copper colourway look like?

It is a rust-red body with a golden shimmer laid over it by the metallic threads in the weave. The mix gives a true copper tone: warm, glowing and slightly metallic, without any print or surface work.

What are the tassels like?

The pallu ends in gold tassels, which pick up the golden shimmer of the body and give the plain drape a finished end. They add a little movement as you walk, and they show best when the pallu falls loose from the shoulder.

Will it be comfortable on a warm day?

Yes. Tissue cotton is lightweight and breathable, and comfortable for extended wear. It suits warm weather and travel, and the plain rust-red body with its golden shimmer looks fresh without any heavy surface work.

How long is the saree?

It is 6.4 to 6.5 metres long, and the running blouse is woven into that length. That is a regular saree length with enough for full pleats and a pallu that sits well on the shoulder.

Why does the shimmer vary slightly across the saree?

It is woven by hand on a loom in Bengal, without power. The metallic threads can catch light a little differently across the length, and no two pieces are exactly alike. That is the character of handloom, not a fault.

What's the care routine?

Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent, separately. Dry in shade, since sun can dull warm tones and metallic sheen. Iron on low heat and store folded in a cotton cloth.
