A deep maroon drape in floral paisley, edged with a broad, densely patterned border.

Why this saree

• 
  A broad, dense border — a wide, closely patterned frame gives the maroon a dressier weight.


• 
  Light and opaque — a soft, fluid drape you can wear all day.


• 
  Blouse piece included — a running piece continuous with the drape, so there is no separate blouse to source or colour-match.

The border

A deep maroon fills the drape with floral paisleys in pink, green and white. A broad, densely worked border with a fine triangular inner edge frames the piece and gives it a dressier weight. Because the print runs on one digital route, the shade and the repeat you see are what reaches you — though on a screen, colours can shift a little between one phone or monitor and the next.

Wearing it

The deep maroon and worked border lean festive, ready for a daytime function yet light enough to wear right through it. Every colourway is the same, so this shade costs no more than any other.

Care

Dry clean it before the first wash — that first clean sets the print and protects the colour. After that, a gentle cold hand wash with a soft detergent is enough; never machine wash it and never wring it. Dry it flat or in the shade without folding, and press it inside out on low to medium heat under a cotton cloth.

Before the first wear

It reaches you as an unstitched drape, which is exactly the form that stays eligible for return or exchange — nothing is cut until you have decided to keep it. When you are ready, a tailor separates the 80 cm blouse piece, stitches the blouse and adds a fall and pico so the saree is ready to drape.
