Iraaya Pure Handloom Jayashree Silk Linen Saree Sunny Yellow

What does the pallu look like?

The body is plain sunny yellow silk-linen with a slubbed texture, and the pallu is a very wide band of molten gold shimmer zari, finished with tassels. A narrow yellow edge with a gold shimmer runs along the borders. Against yellow, the gold pallu gives a warm, sunlit glow.

Which blouse colour suits it?

The running blouse is the simplest choice. For contrast, bottle green, royal blue or maroon all work well against yellow and gold. A white or ivory blouse with elbow sleeves gives a fresh daytime look.

Is the blouse running or contrast?

It is a running blouse, attached to the saree in matching fabric, so ask your tailor to cut it off before draping. A plain blouse keeps the look clean and lets the zari pallu stand out, while a contrast blouse adds a dressier touch.

How does silk-linen drape?

Silk-linen has a structured drape, with a refined texture and a soft sheen. The slightly slubbed, natural surface is part of its appeal. It is breathable too, which keeps it comfortable through a festive day or a long day at the office. Pin the pleats for a neat finish.

Is it really handwoven?

Yes. It is pure handloom, woven on traditional looms in Bengal without electricity. Look closely and you will see small irregularities in texture and slub, especially when light falls across the body. Those variations are the mark of a hand loom, not defects.

How do I care for it?

We recommend a gentle hand wash with mild detergent, washed separately and dried in the shade. Press the water out rather than wringing, and handle the zari pallu gently while ironing. Store it folded in a cotton cloth and refold it now and then so creases do not set.
