{"product_id":"grey-mul-cotton-saree-with-gold-zari-stripes-and-scalloped-border","title":"Grey Mul Cotton Saree with Gold Zari Stripes and Scalloped Border","description":"\u003cp\u003eA handwoven mul cotton saree in slate grey, with fine gold zari stripes running the length of the body and a scalloped gold border worked along the edge — not only at the ends, but right through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrey is an underrated saree colour. It does not compete with your jewellery, it does not date, and it takes almost any blouse you put against it. The zari catches light in a quiet way, which is what makes this one work as easily at a morning function as it does at a desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e mul cotton (mulmul), handloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.15 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlouse piece:\u003c\/strong\u003e not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStripes:\u003c\/strong\u003e gold zari, running vertically through the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBorder:\u003c\/strong\u003e scalloped gold border along the length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in India\u003c\/strong\u003e, sourced directly from weavers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow To Style It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrey is a neutral, so the blouse can do the talking. Mustard or deep rust warms it up. Wine, bottle green or a deep teal give it weight for an evening. Black keeps it severe and elegant for work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zari is gold, so gold or antique-finish jewellery sits more naturally here than oxidised silver. Pearls work beautifully against grey if you want something softer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuited to office wear, temple visits, morning functions and Varamahalakshmi or Ugadi.

Parts of our affordable range are powerloom and we label those as powerloom — we do not use the word handloom loosely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is mul cotton different from ordinary cotton?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMul, or mulmul, is spun and woven finer than regular cotton. The result is lighter, airier and softer against the skin, with a drape that falls close to the body rather than standing away from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the stripes woven in or printed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven. The gold zari stripes run through the fabric itself, so they will not lift or crack the way a printed line eventually does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does the scalloped border run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the length of the saree, not just at the ends. You will see the scallop detail wherever the edge falls in your drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the length and width?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.5 metres long and 1.15 metres wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a blouse piece included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Mul cotton is a very delicate fabric, so we do not attach a blouse piece to it. You will need to source your blouse fabric separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I wash this saree?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not wring or twist it. Line dry in the shade and iron on a warm setting only — a hot iron will dull the zari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the zari tarnish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetallic thread can dull over time, particularly in humid conditions or if the saree is stored in plastic. Wrapping it in white cotton cloth and keeping it somewhere dry is the single best thing you can do for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat blouse colour should I choose for a grey saree?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrey takes almost anything. Mustard and rust warm it, wine and bottle green deepen it, and black makes it look sharp and formal. If you prefer tonal, a slightly darker charcoal blouse looks considered rather than plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I see the actual saree before ordering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Message or call 7353931190 and we will video call you and show you this exact piece in daylight. Grey especially is worth seeing properly before you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the shipping charges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree on all prepaid orders within India. Cash on Delivery is available with a ₹150 shipping and cash-handling charge. We usually dispatch within one working day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your return policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 days from delivery to request a return, with an unedited parcel-opening video from start to finish.
