Our Mayas are a proof that simple and easy dont have to translate to boring and common. If bright colours arent your thing for summer, think lilac ! This beautiful handwoven pure tussar saree has beautiful floral prints in shades of muted purples, reds, yellows, greens and beiges all over the body. It strikes the perfect balance between mild and vivid. The pure zari boder in purple and striped zaree pallu and blouse piece, are the perfect way to bookend this lovely drape. Paired with our purple oraganza sleeveless blouse, it is the most apt choice for a summer day event out in the garden.
Care Instructions
Silk is made from the cocoon of silk worms. India has a rich heritage of silk weaving. Apart from Mulberry silk, India is known for producing tussar, muga and ahimsa silks. Some of these are wild and some of these are farmed commercially. Each of these silks has its own property when it comes to sheen, shine and wear. Being a natural fabric, silk does shed, wear and tear with age. However, caring for them ensures they have a long life. Silk Care & Wash
# We recommend air drying silks after every use. Silks do not require washing after every wear unless soiled.
# We recommend giving our sarees for dry cleaning for the first few washes.
# Silk sarees can be washed at home using a gentle detergent or soap nuts. Avoid soaking & scrubbing these fabrics. Any stains should be dry cleaned.
# Avoid tumble dry and instead line dry away from direct sunlight.
# Silk sarees should be regularly worn to avoid fraying. If kept in humid or dry spaces for long without wear, silks are likely to deteriorate. So wear your sarees well.
# If you are unable to wear them regularly, remove them and change folds from time to time. We do not recommend hanging them. If stacked, ensure there isn’t too much weight on the sarees.
# Avoid using naphthalene balls or other chemicals while storing silks. Heavy silks may be stores in muslin bags.
# If you can, roll them on wooden rods to store them wrinkle free. However, gentle folding works well too.
Hand prints
Print medium has been one of our favourite way to embelish sarees & yardages. Over the years we have dabbled in bagh, bagru, dabu, ajrak, sanganeri, discharge & screen prints. We have consciously worked with various hand-printed forms and we particularly love block prints. We work with both traditional motifs as well as contemporary prints. For instance, with our Mila range of silk and Madras Margarita, we have experimented a fair bit with new age florals. We also like to revisit traditional bagru & dabu prints on our kotas and enhance them with our surface embelishments. Hand-prints are mixed with applique, embroidery & cutwork to further enhance the designs.
