Aabha Roop Handloom Pure Tissue Cotton Saree Dark Lavendar

How glossy is this shade?

Very. The tissue weave gives the rich wine-magenta body a satin-like glow, with a pinkish shine where the light catches it. It looks deep and dark in shade and bright in daylight, which gives a plain saree a lot of presence.

What blouse colours suit a deep wine tone?

A matching wine or plum blouse keeps it rich and sleek. For contrast, try gold, pink or a deep green. Black works well for work. Antique gold jewellery complements the glossy finish.

Will the colour run?

Deep, rich shades can release some dye in the early washes. Wash it separately each time in cool water with a mild detergent, rinse promptly and dry it in shade. Don't leave it soaking.

Is there a blouse piece?

Yes, it comes with a running blouse, which your tailor separates from the saree before stitching. A wine or plum blouse keeps the look rich and sleek, while gold, pink or deep green gives a contrast.

How does the fabric feel draped?

Light and airy, with a soft feel and a gentle crisp texture. It is breathable and comfortable for extended wear, so it stays easy through a long day, and a couple of pins keep the pleats and pallu where you want them.

How should I iron it?

Use low heat and iron on the reverse, or with a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric, to protect the satin-like glow. Store it folded in a cotton cloth, away from damp.
