Iraaya Handloom Pure Jayashree Silk Linen Saree Magenta Pink

What does the magenta pink look like in person?

It is a rose pink, a little softer than a true magenta. The lotus row in the pallu sits on a brownish-mauve band, which deepens the overall look. Screens vary a little, so expect a warm mid pink rather than a bright fuchsia.

How is the pallu laid out?

A wide band carries a row of pink lotus buds on yellow stems, each paired with broad green leaves. Beneath it run bands of metallic stripes in the same pink, edged with a pink and zari band. The body has smaller buds and leaves placed across it.

Is it handloom?

Yes. It is woven on a handloom in Bengal, with the lotus motifs added by hand using the jamdani technique of extra weft threads. Small irregularities in the weave and variation between motifs are signs of that handwork.

Does the saree have a structured drape?

It sits between crisp and fluid. The linen gives body, so pleats stay neat, while the silk adds a soft fall and a gentle sheen. The fabric is light yet rich in texture, so it is easy to carry through a long festive day.

Which blouse colours suit this pink?

Leaf green is the natural partner, matching the lotus leaves. Mustard or gold works well for festive occasions, and a deep maroon makes it more evening-ready. The running blouse in the same pink is also included if you want a matched look.

How do I care for it?

Gently hand wash it in cool water with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes. Dry it in the shade, and store it in a cotton cloth away from sunlight. Avoid machine washing, which can pull the jamdani threads.
