The Weave

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

Along the border, stepped temple peaks alternate with small flowering stems, and a scatter of buttas is woven into the body. Each motif is placed by the weaver, one pass of the shuttle at a time. Look closely and you will find small differences from one to the next. That is the mark of the hand.

How to Style It

Peacock blue is a clear, bright blue with a touch of green — lively without being loud. Beside the gold tissue pallu it feels festive and fresh at once. It carries well through Navratri, Deepavali and family functions, and cotton keeps it comfortable all day.

For contrast, a mustard or magenta blouse makes the blue sing. A soft pink blouse gives a gentler look. Off-white echoes the woven buttas and keeps it classic. 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, and always keep darks and lights apart. No bleach or harsh chemicals. Do not wring or twist, especially the tissue. Line dry in the shade — cotton fades faster in direct sun. 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 gold tissue border and a gold tissue pallu.

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

What comes with the saree?
One peacock blue handloom cotton saree, 6.2 metres long and 1.2 metres wide, with a peacock blue 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.

What colour are the tassels?
Royal blue — a brighter blue than the body, so they stand out at the end of the pallu.

How is this different from your other handloom cotton sarees in this weave?
The mustard, soft indigo and maroon sarees share this temple border in other colours. The magenta and rama green sarees carry a leaf border instead. Peacock blue is the brightest blue in the set — livelier than the soft indigo.

Is it suitable for festivals?
Yes. The peacock blue and gold 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.

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.
