Cream Jamdani-Style Saree with Black Temple Border and Charcoal Pallu

A cream saree with a black temple border and a charcoal pallu, woven on a powerloom in West Bengal. This is the monochrome one in the series. The cream body is plain and soft, the border is sharp black, and the pallu turns dark charcoal with black jamdani-style motifs stepping across it in zigzag chains. It is 6 metres long, including a running blouse.

We state handloom or powerloom on every saree. This one is powerloom. The black motifs are woven by the loom, not inlaid by hand, so we call them jamdani-style.

Fabric & Weave

The fabric is sold in the trade as soft Dhakai jamdani. It is light and soft, with a gentle sheen on the cream body. The style comes from the jamdani tradition of Dhaka. This saree was woven in West Bengal, India.

How to Style It

Cream and black is clean, graphic and grown-up. It is at home at the office, a classical music sabha, a gallery opening or an evening event. A black blouse keeps it strictly monochrome. A red or deep maroon blouse gives it one bold note of colour. Oxidised silver jewellery and a black bindi suit it perfectly. For a festive evening, a gold choker changes the mood entirely.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, or dry clean. No bleach or harsh chemicals. Wash it on its own the first time, so the black and charcoal stay off the cream. Do not wring or twist. Line dry in the shade. Iron on a warm setting, never hot. Store folded in a white cotton cloth in a dry place.
