Trikon Katha Pure Kota Silk Saree Liberty Blue

What does the colour look like on the saree?

The body is a deep, confident blue with small gold-toned triangles scattered across it and fine gold lines running between them. The pallu end is dyed a much lighter sky blue that blends into the deep blue, so you get two blues in one drape. Because it is hand-dyed, the exact depth can vary a little from piece to piece.

Is the Trikon Katha pattern woven or printed?

Woven. It is a jacquard design built into the Kota silk on the loom, where individual warp threads are lifted to form the pattern. The small gold triangles and the fine gold lines between them are part of the cloth itself, not printed on top.

What blouse styles suit it for office wear?

The attached running blouse in the same fabric is the simplest option for work. A boat neck or high round neck with elbow-length sleeves looks tidy at a desk. For a contrast, a white, mustard or soft grey blouse keeps the look crisp without being loud.

Is it comfortable in summer?

Yes. Kota silk is a lightweight, airy fabric woven from a blend of cotton and silk yarns, and it has long been a favourite in warm climates. That makes it an easy choice for summer days, travel and long hours at work.

How should I wash it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. A gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent is fine if needed. Wash it separately because the colour is hand-dyed, do not wring or twist it, and dry it flat or on a line in the shade.
