REKHA

Structure, quietly worn.

Where some sarees scatter their light, this one arranges it. Vertical gold zari stripes run in quiet formation across a lemon yellow Chanderi ground, crossing each other into a lattice that carries small diamond motifs at every intersection — each one catching the light differently depending on how you move. The gold zari border closes it with the same unhurried richness, and yellow silk tassels mark the pallu's edge like a final, settled note.

Chanderi doesn't try. This one is no different — structured on the surface, effortless when worn.

The lattice stripe gives this saree a graphic quality that pairs beautifully with solid, deep contrast blouses — forest green, navy, or wine work especially well. Lemon yellow carries gold jewellery effortlessly. Keep accessories minimal and let the weave pattern do its work.

• Dry clean recommended to preserve the Chanderi weave and zari work.
• If hand washing, use cold water and a very mild detergent — handle gently and do not wring.
• Store in a breathable muslin cloth — avoid plastic covers which can trap moisture and affect the fabric's sheen.
• Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent colour fading.
• Iron on a low setting on the reverse side with a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Avoid ironing directly over the zari stripes or border.
• Handle the zari work with care; avoid friction and perfume contact which can dull the gold work over time.
