Color Pairing Tips

Classic pairings stay timeless: blue with mustard, red with beige, natural tones with metallic jari. Black with magenta suits evening wear; pastels work better by day. Check colors under daylight before purchase to gauge true contrast.

Draping and Care

Pallu texture affects the drape. Silk and tussar fold neatly; cotton and linen move freely. Dry-clean silk and handloom sarees to preserve dye and weave strength. Hand-wash cotton and linen gently in mild detergent. Store folded along the pallu to prevent color transfer and keep edges sharp.
