Ret Ki Chhaya Ajrakh Printed Chanderi Silk Saree Vivid Red

What is printed on the body?

Cream leaf motifs are scattered across the red body, placed with space around each so the ground stays bold. Along the edges, a cream leaf-vine band with a fine gold line repeats the same leaf idea, so the whole saree feels like one design.

What makes the pallu stand out?

A black band printed with teardrop and medallion motifs runs across the pallu, the darkest and densest section of the saree. Against the red body it creates a strong break, and draped over the shoulder it gives the look a traditional Ajrakh weight.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only, and avoid washing it at home. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place, refold it from time to time and air it in dry weather. If it gets wet, dry it in the shade, away from direct sun.

How long is it?

The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, which includes an attached blouse piece. Your tailor removes that piece before stitching the blouse, leaving the rest of the length for draping.

How can I style the blouse?

A black blouse picks up the pallu band and gives a sharp, classic contrast. Cream echoes the leaf motifs and feels lighter for daytime. For festive evenings, a blouse with a touch of gold at the neckline ties in with the gold line on the border. Or simply stitch the attached blouse piece.

Can I wear it beyond the office?

Yes. Workwear comes first, as the spaced motifs keep it neat enough for a working day. It then steps up for festive occasions and evening dinners, and the red with its black pallu also suits temple visits and puja at home.
