Nakshi Handloom Pure Khadi Cotton Saree Calm White

What is the motif on this Nakshi saree?

Small navy hearts are scattered across a white body, with navy and white tassels at the ends. The look is crisp and calm, a quiet contrast that suits work days and temple visits alike, and pairs easily with silver jewellery.

How are the ends finished?

With twisted tassels in navy and white, which repeat the motif colour at the end of the pallu. They add a small crafted detail and give the pallu a finished look when you leave it open over the shoulder.

Which petticoat suits a white khadi saree?

A white or skin-tone cotton petticoat is the safest choice for a clean, even look under white. Cotton pairs well with khadi as both breathe, and the pleats tuck in firmly. Keep darker petticoats for darker sarees.

What does handloom khadi feel like?

Soft, breathable and slightly textured. The cotton is spun and woven by hand in Bengal, so the weave has gentle irregularities that you can see and feel. These small variations are natural and differ from one saree to the next.

How do I keep the drape neat?

Press the pleats with a warm iron before draping. For a crisp office look, starch it lightly; for a softer drape, skip the starch. Pin at the shoulder and tuck the pleats firmly at the waist so everything stays in place.

How do I wash a white saree with navy embroidery?

Hand wash it separately in cool water with a mild detergent, and rinse quickly so the navy threads don't mark the white. Dry it in the shade straight away, and never leave it bundled up while wet.
