Ret Ki Chhaya Ajrakh Printed Chanderi Silk Saree Black

What makes the border on this Ret Ki Chhaya saree distinctive?

The border is the busiest part of the saree: wide printed paisley bands layered in red, cream and indigo, finished with a fine gold line. Against the quiet body, it gives the saree a strong outline, so even a simple drape looks deliberate and well put together.

How visible is the buti on the body?

The body has small cream leaf buti, spaced out and kept small, so from a short distance it looks almost solid with a soft speckle. That restraint keeps it easy to wear on regular days, and the red pallu end with its gold line lifts the look when you want more.

Is a blouse included?

Yes, a blouse piece comes attached to the saree. The full length is 6.3 to 6.4 metres including that piece, and your tailor simply cuts the blouse portion away from the end before stitching it to your measurements.

Can I wear it comfortably for hours?

Yes. Chanderi silk cotton is lightweight and breathable, so it stays comfortable through long office hours or a puja that runs on. Its matte finish also means it doesn't look overdressed in daylight, and the light weight keeps the pallu easy on the shoulder.

How should I wash it?

It is dry clean only, so avoid washing or soaking it at home. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place and change the folds now and then. If it gets caught in the rain, dry it in the shade and then send it for dry cleaning.

Which occasions does it suit?

Office wear first: the quiet body and strong border look sharp without drawing too much attention. From there it moves easily to an evening dinner, a temple visit or a puja at home, and festive gatherings, where the red pallu and gold line come into their own.
