Black Maheshwari-Style Cotton Silk Saree with Gold Striped Pallu

A black Maheshwari-style cotton silk saree with a gold striped pallu and a gold-toned blouse, woven on a powerloom. The body stays plain black, so the pallu, with its bands of black and gold, gets all the attention. It's inspired by the Maheshwari weave rather than woven in Maheshwar, and we'd like you to hear that from us first.

Fabric & Weave

Cotton silk blends cotton with silk, so the black has a soft sheen rather than a flat finish. A geometric woven border in gold-coloured thread, not zari, runs the full length.

The pallu is gold-toned with fine white stripes across it. On either side sits a wide black band, then a wide gold band, before the black returns at the very end. It finishes in black and gold tassels.

Size

6.24 m long, including a 90 cm gold-toned running blouse with a woven border, attached to the saree. 1.2 m wide and about 500 g. Free size.

How to Style It

Black and gold is made for evenings. The attached gold blouse makes it a ready festive look for Deepavali parties and receptions. A red blouse is the classic contrast, and a soft pastel blouse lightens it for daytime functions. Gold jhumkas or a statement necklace finish it.

Care

Hand wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent, since black can bleed and fade. No bleach and no wringing. Line dry in the shade to keep the black deep, and iron on warm.
