Design details
-
Body: Rich black raw silk.
-
Border: Golden temple design border.
-
Pallu: Stylish pallu with geometric motifs.
-
Handloom: Woven on a hand-operated loom, so small irregularities in the weave and the natural slubs of raw silk are signs of handwork, not defects.
-
Blouse: Comes with an unstitched blouse piece.
Occasions and styling
Black and gold works especially well for evening gatherings and festive nights. Pair it with a gold blouse and a temple jewellery choker that echoes the border. A sleek bun or low braid keeps the look clean.
About Raw Silk
Raw silk is silk that is not fully degummed, so it keeps a natural texture and a slight crispness. It has a matte sheen and gentle slubs rather than a high shine. Because it holds pleats well, a raw silk saree drapes neatly and stays in place through the day.
Care
Dry clean only. Store the saree wrapped in a soft cotton or muslin cloth, away from moisture. Refold it every few months so the zari does not crack along the folds. Do not spray perfume directly on the silk or zari. Iron on low heat with a cloth in between.
