Varnika Kota Doria Blockprint Saree Lavendar

What is the pattern on the Varnika saree?

Fine black lattice vines dotted with small black points run across an orchid purple ground. The lattice is small in scale, so from a distance the body reads as a softly textured purple, and up close the hand-printed detail comes through.

How are the borders and pallu designed?

Bold wavy black lines form the borders, finished with a lavender strip at the edge. The pallu is striped, carrying the same black-on-purple palette in bands, so the saree stays graphic and consistent from end to end.

What is the length, and is a blouse piece included?

The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, and the blouse piece comes attached to it. Separate it before stitching, and you have a blouse in the same pure cotton Kota Doria as the saree.

Can I wash it at home?

Yes. Use a gentle handwash with a mild detergent, wash it separately from other clothes, and dry it in shade. Storing it folded in a muslin cloth helps keep the pure cotton fresh between wears.

Is it sheer?

Pure cotton Kota Doria has an airy, slightly sheer weave, so wear a petticoat close in colour: purple, lavender or a skin tone. Pleats layer up and cover well, while the pallu will let some light through.

What blouse colours go with orchid purple?

Black is the sharpest match, picking up the lattice and borders. For a softer look, a pale lavender or pink blouse echoes the edge strip, and a silver-toned blouse gives it a dressier lift.
