Lucid Ikkat Slub Linen Handloom Blue Saree

What does the Lucid pallu look like?

The pallu is royal blue worked in a dashed ikat, a few shades deeper than the powder-blue body with its small blue arrows. A silver-toned edge with blue stripes frames the border, and the pallu finishes in tassels, so it has a soft sheen without looking dressy.

Is the blouse piece included?

Yes, a blouse piece comes attached in the pallu colour, so royal blue. It sets off the pale body well. Ask your tailor to cut it from the saree cleanly and finish the edge; an elbow or three-quarter sleeve suits the relaxed feel of linen.

Does slub linen feel rough?

It has texture rather than roughness. Slub linen is soft, with natural irregularities, or slubs, in the yarn that you can see and feel in the weave. They give the saree a rustic charm, while the fabric keeps the breathability and durability linen is known for.

Can I wear it in humid weather?

Yes. Slub linen is breathable, and this saree looks light, so it suits warm, humid days and summer travel. Keep the drape simple with neat pleats pinned at the shoulder, and choose light jewellery so the look stays easy through the day.

Do I need to wash it separately?

Yes. The yarns are hand-dyed, so wash it on its own, by hand, with a mild detergent, and dry it in the shade. Keep it away from lighter clothes in the same bucket, and don't wring it; press the water out gently instead.
