Striped Katan Silk Saree Persian Green Handcrafted

What makes this jade version stand out?

It is a bright jade green with fine light stripes running across it and darker green bands for depth. The stripes stay pale and crisp, so the overall look is fresh and lively, and the striped pallu continues the same pattern to the shoulder.

How sparkly is it?

Only lightly. A few tiny sequins are scattered among the stripes, enough to catch the light at an evening do but not so many that the saree looks heavily worked. It reads more as textured silk with a glint than as a party sequin saree.

What jewellery would you suggest?

Silver and white stones keep the look cool and fresh against the jade. Gold works well too for a warmer, more traditional feel. Because the saree is lightly embellished, a statement pair of earrings is often all you need.

Does it include a blouse piece?

Yes. The blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the full length including it is 6.3 to 6.4 metres. Cut it away neatly and have it tailored to your measurements, or use it as the base for a contrast-sleeve design.

How should I wash the hand-dyed green?

Always wash it separately, as the colour is hand dyed. Dry cleaning is preferred, but a gentle hand wash with mild detergent is fine. Do not leave it soaking, and dry it in shade to keep the green bright.

How do I keep the sequins from snagging?

Store it folded in a cloth bag rather than on a crowded hanger, and keep it apart from pieces with hooks or heavy embellishment. When wearing it, watch out for bangles and bag straps that can catch on the sequins and tassels.
