Indigo-blue heart-leaf buttas are scattered across the black body, framed by a floral scroll border. The pallu opens into a dense Ajrakh jaal in red, indigo and off-white, finished with red and navy tassels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is authentic modal silk. It's light and flowy, and comfortable enough to wear all day, even on warm summer days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Print\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAjrakh is one of the oldest block-print traditions of Kutch. Every motif on this saree is printed by hand with carved wooden blocks, one impression at a time. You'll see tiny shifts in line and spacing. They are the mark of the hands that made it, and no two pieces come out exactly alike. We source it directly from the artisans who print it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Fabric\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModal silk has a soft sheen and a fluid drape. It falls closer to the body than a heavy silk and breathes better, so it stays comfortable through South Indian summers, a full office day, or an evening function that runs late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Running Blouse\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6 metres include a running blouse in a bold off-white lattice with a matching border, ready to cut and take to your tailor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Style It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet the print lead. One statement piece of jewellery is enough, because the pallu does the rest. Wear it to the office on a warm weekday, to a sabha or cultural evening, or to a family function where you want to look put-together without looking loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash gently at home in cold water with a mild detergent, or dry clean.
