Charcoal Grey Hand-Block Printed Cotton Saree with Daisy Pallu and Floral Buttas

A charcoal grey saree in 100% cotton, hand-block printed by artisans in India. Small off-white floral buttas sit in rows over faint wavy lines, edged by a layered border of zigzags, leaves and fine stripes. The pallu opens into large daisy sprays on a woven-look basketweave ground, framed by bold off-white stripes.

Every motif is pressed by hand with a carved wooden block, so you'll see small variations from print to print — a slight shift in tone, a softened edge. That's the hand at work, not a flaw.

The blouse fabric comes attached — charcoal with grey wavy lines and the zigzag-and-leaf border. Cut it from the saree and have it tailored to your fit.

Grey and off-white is an easy, grown-up pairing for office days and evenings out. Oxidised silver or a chunky statement neckpiece suits it.
