Aabha Roop Handloom Pure Tissue Cotton Saree Royal Blue

Why does the colour change between blue and purple?

This one has a shot-colour look: in some folds it reads royal blue, in others magenta-purple, depending on how the light falls. Combined with the sheen of the tissue weave, it gives a plain saree real movement, so it looks different as you walk and turn.

How do I style a saree that shifts colour?

Choose a blouse in one of the two tones it shows. Royal blue gives a cooler, sharper look; magenta or purple makes it warmer. Silver jewellery leans into the blue, while antique gold draws out the purple.

Is a blouse included with it?

Yes, it comes with a running blouse, which your tailor separates before stitching. For styling, a royal blue blouse gives a cooler look and a magenta or purple one draws out the warmer tone in the folds.

Will it stay comfortable for long hours?

Yes. Tissue cotton is lightweight and breathable, so it doesn't feel heavy on the shoulder through a long day. It has a soft, airy feel with a gentle sheen, and a couple of pins are all it needs to keep the pleats and pallu in place.

Could the blue bleed into other clothes?

Rich blues and purples can release a little dye in the early washes. Always wash it separately in cool water with a mild detergent, rinse promptly and dry it in shade. Don't leave it bunched up while damp.

What's the best way to iron it?

Use low heat and press on the reverse, or with a thin cotton cloth over the fabric. This protects the metallic sheen that gives the colour shift its glow. Store it folded in cotton.
