Black Russian Silk Hand Kantha Work Saree

Blouse - Pick Your Vibe

• Use the included blouse: Black or orange to highlight the embroidery; boat or round neck with elbow sleeves; add a touch of thread work to echo the saree's detailing.
• Contrast Pop: Deep maroon, emerald green, or mustard satin/raw silk; sweetheart or V-neckline; minimal embroidery to keep focus on the saree.
• Neutral Glam: Ivory or silver-grey tussar; clean square or crew neck; a slim metallic border finish for balance.

Petticoat

• Shantoon or satin in black or orange; A-line cut for graceful fall or mermaid cut for a more sculpted silhouette.

Jewellery

• Oxidised silver jhumkas and bangles enhance the artisanal hand work. For a heavier look, pair with antique-gold temple jewellery with colored stones echoing the embroidery.

Footwear

• Embroidered juttis, kolhapuris, or metallic heels in silver/gold for a festive finish.

• Store folded with soft tissue covering the embellished areas
• Place in a breathable muslin or cotton bag; avoid long-term plastic covers
• Do not hang for extended periods; brief airing on a padded hanger is fine
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and perfume
• Refold every few months to prevent permanent crease lines
• Keep away from rough surfaces and sharp jewellery to prevent snags

• Dry clean only
• Steam from the reverse on low; use a pressing cloth; avoid direct heat on border/embellishments
• For minor spots, dab gently on non-embellished areas; do not rub
• Do not machine wash, soak, wring, or bleach
