Trikon Katha Kota Silk Mustard Yellow Jacquard Saree

How bright is mustard yellow?

Mustard is a warm, earthy yellow, deeper and less sharp than lemon yellow. It works well for day wear, flatters most skin tones, and pairs naturally with gold jewellery. Screens vary, so it may look a touch different in person.

How does the Trikon Katha weave look in mustard?

Faint tonal triangles are scattered across the mustard body, with thin vertical lines running between them and a narrow gold zari border along the edges. The pallu end switches to a plain crimson pink, which makes the drape two-toned. The motifs are woven into the Kota silk with jacquard weaving rather than printed on.

What blouse colours suit mustard?

Maroon, bottle green, navy, purple and black all give a strong contrast against mustard. A maroon or purple blouse with gold jewellery is a classic festive pairing. The blouse piece comes attached to the saree, ready for your tailor.

Will I need a special petticoat?

Kota is light and translucent, so a mustard or skin-toned petticoat in fine cotton is best. White petticoats tend to show at the pleats and pallu. A full-length one gives a neater line for office wear.

How do I wash it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. A gentle hand wash with mild detergent and cold water is fine for occasional cleaning. Wash it on its own, do not wring it, and dry it in the shade so the yellow does not dull.
