This is an authentic Kala Cotton Saree, handwoven by the master weavers of the Vankar community of a village named Bhujodi in the district of Kutch, Gujarat, India. The saree is distinguished by its intricate extra-weft weaving. This technique involves manually inserting contrasting treads during the weaving process to create the raised geometric patterns representing a 500-year-old tradition of hand weaving.

The fabric is made from Kala Cotton, a resillient, Carbon-neutral, indigenous organic cotton variety native to the arid region of Kutch. It is known for its earthy, slightly coarse texture that softens beautifully with every wash.

This saree features a deep coal-black base that emphasizes the crisp, white extra-weft geometry. The saree is defined by its dramatic monochrome palette, accented with vibrant blue, red and green selvedges (borders). The body is adorned with traditional Bhujodi motifs that appear like delicate embroidery but are actually woven directly into the fabric using the extra-weft technique. The texture is earthy and substantial, typical of authentic Kala cotton, making it an ideal choice for both formal gatherings and artisanal daily wear.

Fabric: 100% Organic Kala Cotton

Colour: Jet Black with White Accents

Craft: Traditional Bhujodi Extra-Weft Handloom Weaving.

Length: Approximately 6.2 to 6.5 meters (including 1 meter of a matching unstitched blouse piece).

Width: Approx. 45 inches.

Weight: Approx. 830 grams.

The Body: Black Kala cotton featuring a minimalist hand-embroidered Chaumukh motifs in white and small, circular mirrors distributed subtly across the saree body.

The Pallu (Decorative End): A show-stopping feature comprising dense horizontal striped bands in white and golden Zari woven alternatively in precise proportions. The pallu is adorned with hand-embroidered Mor, Chaumukh and Dholki motifs along with Abhla scattered in white sparsely distributed throughout creating a starry night effect, enhancing traditional artisanal craftsmanship.

The Border: A continuous woven border running the saree's full length in blue, red and sage green providing refined visual continuity, elegant definition, and cohesive design flow throughout.

Finish: The pallu concludes with intricately knotted fringe and tassels in white provides artisanal texture, dynamic movement, festive charm and traditional handwoven character.

Feel: Breathable, durable and textured; it provides comfort in summers and moderate warmth in winters.

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.
