Woven by hand, on a loom, by an artisan — not on a power loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Style It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagenta 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the fabric?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandloom cotton, with a tissue border and tissue pallu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the shimmer zari?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The shimmer on the border and pallu is tissue, not zari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes with the saree?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the blouse stitched?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The running blouse is unstitched and attached to the saree. Your tailor cuts it off and stitches it to your measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it really handloom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It is woven by hand on a loom, not on a power loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your magenta saree with a temple border?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis one has a border of woven leaf motifs with a tissue edge and a tissue pallu. The other carries a temple border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it suitable for festivals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The magenta and tissue make it festive, and the cotton keeps it comfortable — a good choice for Navratri, Deepavali and family functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do some motifs look slightly different?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause they are woven by hand. Small variations in texture and motif shape are natural to handloom and are not defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the magenta bleed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt may release a little dye in the first few washes. Wash it separately at first, in cold water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for the tissue?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I see the saree on a video call?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you deliver across India?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, to all pin codes.
