Gulnaar Pure Linen Handloom Saree Red & Black

How do the red and black work on the Gulnaar?

The body is striped in red and black, with touches of orange and navy, so it reads warm and lively from a distance. The pallu then turns to black, worked with gold roses, and an orange edge finishes the drape. The black pallu gives the saree a strong, graphic finish.

What do the roses on the black pallu look like?

They are gold roses woven across the black pallu, which ends in tassels. Against the dark ground the gold stands out sharply, so the pallu becomes the focus when it falls over the shoulder, while the striped body stays lively.

Is it suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. Pure linen is breathable and comfortable for long hours, which makes it easy for everyday wear. It suits the office, a kitty lunch or brunch, summer days and travel, and with gold jewellery it also works for festive days and temple visits.

Will the black run into the red stripes?

Since the saree carries several colours, always wash it separately. Use cool water and a mild detergent, hand wash gently, do not soak it for long, and dry it in the shade. Iron on low heat and store it folded in a cotton bag.

What blouse suits red stripes and a black pallu?

A black blouse keeps the look sleek and lets the striped body show. A red or orange blouse brings out the stripes for a brighter look. Gold jewellery picks up the roses on the pallu, while oxidised silver suits the black.

How does pure linen feel to wear?

Pure linen is a natural fabric made from flax fibres, with excellent breathability and a crisp yet soft texture. It keeps you cool in warm weather and softens with use, so the saree grows more comfortable the more you wear it.
