Delicate Banarasi Silk Linen Red Handloom Saree

What colour is the border on this saree?

It is a contrast bottle green. The coral-red body is framed by a green border woven with silver-toned floral brocade. Red and green is a traditional pairing, and the silver zari keeps it fresh.

Does coral red with bottle green feel traditional or modern?

Both. Red and green is a classic festive combination, but the coral shade is lighter and softer than a deep red, and the silver brocade feels contemporary. Gold jewellery leans traditional; silver keeps it modern.

Where does this saree fit best?

It works well as office wear: coral red with a bottle-green border is cheerful and smart at work. Red and green also suit puja and festive days, and it carries easily into dinners out and brunches with friends.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A matching blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. Have your tailor cut it off before the first drape and stitch it to your measurements and preferred neckline.

Is it handwoven?

Yes, it is a handloom saree from our Bhagalpur hub. Look closely and you will see the small signs of a weaver at work: slight variations in the weave, and motifs that are close to identical but not machine-perfect. Those are the marks of handloom, and they make every piece a little different.

Will the colour match the photos exactly?

Close, with two caveats. It is hand dyed, so the depth of colour can vary slightly from batch to batch, and screens show colours differently. The variation is small and natural to hand processes.
