Nirmal Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Dark Red

What kind of red is it?

A deep, dark red, rich rather than bright, with matching red tassels at the pallu end. It is bold and classic. There is no zari or print, so it stays plain, light and easy to wear for everyday and puja days.

What blouse suits red?

White and black are classic partners for red. Bottle green or gold dresses it up, and a mustard blouse gives a warm, earthy look. Sleeveless or elbow-sleeve cuts both sit well with khadi.

Will red bleed in the wash?

Wash it separately, as you would any deep red, especially the first few times. Hand wash with a mild detergent, avoid long soaking and wringing, and dry it in the shade, keeping it away from light clothes while damp.

Is the blouse included?

Yes. It comes with a running blouse: the blouse length is woven as part of the 6.4 to 6.5 metre saree, and your tailor cuts it from one end before stitching. That leaves the full drape for pleats and pallu once the blouse length is taken off.

Is it handwoven?

Yes, it is a pure khadi cotton handloom saree, handspun and handwoven. No two handloom pieces turn out exactly alike, and minor irregularities in the weave are part of that handwork. The fabric is soft, breathable and lightweight, made for everyday wear.
