Magenta Handloom Cotton Saree with Leaf Border

A handloom cotton saree in magenta, scattered with small woven buttas and edged with a border of leaf motifs. A band of tissue runs along the border and opens out into a shimmering tissue pallu, finished with bright pink tassels. A running blouse comes attached.

The Details

• Fabric — cotton, handloom
• Length — 6.2 metres, including the running blouse
• Width — 1.2 metres
• Body — magenta, with small woven buttas
• Border — woven leaf motifs with a tissue edge
• Pallu — tissue, framed by magenta stripes, with pink tassels at the end
• Blouse — running blouse attached, to be cut and stitched by your tailor

The Weave

This is a handloom cotton saree. Woven by hand, on a loom, by an artisan — not on a power loom.

The leaf motifs along the border are woven in, one by one, so no two sit exactly alike. Look closely and you will see small differences from one leaf to the next. That is the hand of the weaver, and it is what makes the saree yours alone.

How to Style It

Magenta is a festive colour on its own, and the tissue gives it a soft glow in lamplight. It is made for Navratri evenings, Deepavali and small family functions — and cotton is comfortable through a long day of it.

For contrast, try a bottle green blouse; green and pink is one of our favourite pairings. For something gentler, an off-white blouse lets the tissue do the shining. Gold-toned or temple jewellery suits it well.

Care

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Wash it on its own the first few times — magenta can release a little dye early on. No bleach or harsh chemicals. Do not wring or twist, especially the tissue. Line dry in the shade. Iron on a warm setting, and press the tissue border and pallu on the reverse side.

Store it folded in a dry place, wrapped in white cotton cloth, and refold it along new lines now and then so the tissue does not crease sharply in one place.

Questions

What is the fabric?
Handloom cotton, with a tissue border and tissue pallu.

Is the shimmer zari?
No. The shimmer on the border and pallu is tissue, not zari.

What comes with the saree?
One magenta handloom cotton saree, 6.2 metres long and 1.2 metres wide, with a running blouse attached. The blouse portion is part of the 6.2 metres.

Is the blouse stitched?
No. The running blouse is unstitched and attached to the saree. Your tailor cuts it off and stitches it to your measurements.

Is it really handloom?
Yes. It is woven by hand on a loom, not on a power loom.

How is this different from your magenta saree with a temple border?
This one has a border of woven leaf motifs with a tissue edge and a tissue pallu. The other carries a temple border.

Is it suitable for festivals?
Yes. The magenta and tissue make it festive, and the cotton keeps it comfortable — a good choice for Navratri, Deepavali and family functions.

Why do some motifs look slightly different?
Because they are woven by hand. Small variations in texture and motif shape are natural to handloom and are not defects.

Will the magenta bleed?
It may release a little dye in the first few washes. Wash it separately at first, in cold water.

How do I care for the tissue?
Do not wring or twist it. Iron on a warm setting, pressing the tissue on the reverse side, and store the saree folded in soft cotton cloth.

Yes. Message us on WhatsApp at 7353931190 and we will show it to you live, in daylight, so you can see how the tissue catches the light.
