A handwoven red and black raw silk saree from Chhattisgarh, with bold square pattern designs woven into the border and pallu and subtle white geometric accents. Raw silk gives it a matte sheen and a slight crispness that holds pleats well. It is a good fit for festivals, family functions and evening events.
Design details
- Colours: Red and black in strong contrast, with subtle white geometric accents.
- Border: Bold square pattern design.
- Pallu: Square pattern design that matches the border.
- Fabric: Raw silk, lightweight with a natural texture.
- 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
The geometric border makes it a confident choice for festivals, family functions and evening events. A black blouse and a chunky oxidised silver necklace suit the squares.
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, and refold it every few months. Do not spray perfume directly on the silk. Iron on low heat with a cloth in between.
