What arrives

An unstitched drape with a running blouse piece cut from the same cloth as the saree, attached to the drape and included in the price. Both are unstitched fabric rather than a made-up garment. It arrives finished: pallu tassels (kuchu) tied, selvedge and edges finished, and a pre-dispatch check completed on the piece before it leaves us. Fall, pico and edge finishing are not done before dispatch, but we do them on request.

How it is woven

The cloth comes off a pit loom with the weft laid in by hand, and the dobby carries the buti and the border design through body and pallu. Machine weaving plays no part in it, and the weaver confirms every piece. The Handloom Mark is held for this cloth, with the registration on record. The Handloom Mark is held for this cloth, with the registration on record. Small irregularities in the weave are the fingerprint of hand weaving and are present in these finished pieces.

The bugdi border

The bugdi border reads the same on both faces of the cloth, so the design holds wherever the edge turns back — at the pleats, or where the pallu falls back over your shoulder.

How it feels and how it falls

350–360 g at 44–46 GSM, measured in-house. It is the kind of weight you stop noticing an hour into an evening. The body is semi-sheer, so wear it over a petticoat. The drape is soft, holds its pleats through a long day, and does not stiffen or go limp after the first clean.

Wearing it

Made for festive dressing, formal and light occasions, and weddings and receptions where you are among the guests.

Care and storage

  1. Professional dry clean only. Home washing is not recommended.
  2. Air-dry in the shade, without wringing.
  3. Iron on low to medium heat, inside out, under a cotton press cloth.
  4. Store wrapped in breathable cotton or muslin, in a cool dark cupboard.
  5. Refold every 3–6 months so the same creases do not set.

Followed as written, this routine is also what looks after the zari border. The cloth is colour fast on wash and rub testing in our range.

Colour

Screens and lighting render colour differently, so the deep blue you see on this page may not be an exact match for the cloth in hand. If the shade you receive does not match, we will exchange it; the conditions are set out in the FAQ.

Dispatch and delivery

Held in stock rather than made to order. About half of all orders are dispatched the next working day and most within 2–3 days, with delivery in 3–7 days for most orders inside India.
