Nilofar Bandhej Modal Silk Saree

Nilofar means the blue water-lily - the flower that opens on still water. Cobalt bandhani borders, hand-tied and dotted in white, frame a cream Kalamkari-style field of red and ochre blooms. The gold-checked gharchola pallu finishes it the old way.

• Fabric: Modal silk - fluid, light and breathable to drape
• Craft: Bandhani (bandhej) - hand-tied resist dye in cobalt blue, each dot tied by hand
• Field: Kalamkari-style florals in cream, red and ochre
• Pallu & border: Gold-zari gharchola checks
• Mood: Festive without weight - an evening or daytime-celebration saree

Size & fit: 5.5m saree with blouse piece. One size; drapes to fit.

Care: Dry clean only. Wrap in muslin; keep away from direct sun.

Each knot is tied by hand before dyeing - expect gentle variation in the dots and a one-of-a-kind result.
