This dark blue pure modal silk saree with a coordinating printed blouse is an elegant piece that beautifully combines luxurious fabric with traditional Indian craftsmanship. It features the distinctive Ajrakh Vanaspati hand block print style, known for its intricate botanical and geometric patterns created using natural dyes.
- Fabric Excellence: Crafted from pure modal silk, the saree offers a luxurious, ultra-soft feel and a beautiful, fluid drape. Modal is a highly breathable, plant-based fabric known for its subtle sheen and comfort, making it a sustainable and practical choice for various climates.
- Artisanal Print: The exquisite design uses the ancient Ajrakh method, a complex 14-16 step process of hand block printing and natural dyeing, where the fabric is treated multiple times to achieve rich, long-lasting colors. The "Vanaspati" aspect refers to the use of vegetable-based dyes and botanical motifs, such as flowers and leaves, giving the saree an organic and earthy charm.
- Color & Design: The deep, dark blue hue is typically achieved with natural indigo dye, which is a signature color in traditional Ajrakh prints. The intricate patterns, including geometric checks and flowing lines, are often printed on both sides of the fabric using a resist-dyeing method, a hallmark of authentic Ajrakh work.
- Blouse Piece: The saree includes a matching unstitched printed blouse piece, designed to complement the main body of the saree and allow for a custom fit.
- Occasion & Care: This blend of elegance and comfort makes the saree suitable for formal events, festive occasions, and sophisticated day wear. It is recommended to dry clean only to maintain the integrity of the natural dyes and the delicate fabric.
