The Top: The Top fabric features hand-embroidered Chaumukh motifs placed in traditional geometric patterns and mirror-work creating large geometric floral motifs vertically aligned down the center for a flattering silhouette.

The Dupatta: A true masterpiece of Kutchi craftsmanship, the dupatta features elegant white woven stripes and intricate geometric Chaumukh and Dhungali motifs. A striking gold zari band adds a touch of luxury. It is finished with white handmade tassels and a crochet-style edge that provide a soft contrast to the deep blue.

The Bottom: The coordinating bottom fabric is kept simple and breathable, provides comfort for all-day wear and can be tailored into contemporary trousers or traditional salwars.

To ensure the longevity of the natural fibers and the hues:

1. First Wash: Dry cleaning is highly recommended for the first wash to set the colours and preserve the intricate weft work.

2. Subsequent Washes: If hand-washing at home, use cold water and a very mild liquid detergent (or baby shampoo).

3. Process: Do not soak the saree for more than 5 minutes. Gently swirl it in the water; do not bleach or scrub, wring or twist the fabric, as this can damage the hand-woven motifs.

4. Drying: Always dry in the shade and away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading. It is best to hang it on a padded hanger or lay it flat on a clean surface.

5. Ironing: Use a medium-heat setting. It is safer to iron on the reverse side of the saree to protect the raised weaving patterns.

6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid using plastic covers; instead wrap the saree in a breathable muslin or cotton cloth bag given along with the product. Avoid hanging for long periods; folding helps maintain the shape of the handloom weave.

7. Tassel Care: Gently comb the tassels with your fingers after washing to keep them from tangling.

Please note that the actual colour may vary slightly from the photos due to differences in screen settings, lighting conditions, and natural variations in handcrafted, handwoven textiles.

Please note that this fabric is handwoven and handcrafted so there may be subtle variations that authentically reflect the skilled artisanal craftsmanship and individuality of each unique piece.
