Nakshi Handloom Pure Khadi Cotton Saree Dark Pink

What is the motif on this Nakshi saree?

Small white hearts are embroidered across the bright pink body and continue into the pallu. They are tiny and scattered, so the effect is playful rather than busy. It is a fun, youthful take on a khadi saree that still looks put-together.

What are the twisted ends?

The ends are finished with twisted tassels, a crafted-looking detail that gives the pallu a little swing. They also make the saree feel finished when you let the pallu fall loose. Gently straighten them by hand after washing.

How do I use the running blouse?

The blouse fabric is included in the saree's 6.4–6.5 metre length, at one end. Cut it off along the weave and take it to your tailor. A simple round-neck, elbow-sleeve blouse suits the casual, everyday feel of khadi.

What blouse colours pair with it?

White is the natural match, echoing the hearts. For more fun, try a red or orange blouse for a bold colour-block, or black for a sharper city look. The pink is bright enough that a plain blouse works best.

How do I keep the pink looking fresh?

Wash it by hand and always on its own, in cool water with a mild detergent. Don't soak it for long, and dry it in the shade rather than in strong sun. Store it folded in a cotton bag, away from direct light.

Can I machine wash it?

Hand washing is best. Use a mild detergent, swish gently rather than scrubbing the hearts, and press the water out with a towel instead of wringing. Iron on the reverse so the embroidery keeps its shape.
