The Baluchari silk I ordered surpassed every expectation. Each motif narrates a mythological tale — wearing it felt like carrying a piece of Bengal's soul.
Black Mul Cotton saree (Vanaspati dye, wax batik saree)
Description
-
Base Fabric & Color: Deep charcoal black mul (mulmul) cotton, soft to the touch with a breathable, semi-sheer drape that sits effortlessly without needing starch.
-
Natural Dyeing (Vanaspati): Colored using eco-friendly, organic Vanaspati dyes derived from natural plant sources (such as indigo, iron rust/jaggery solution, or harda), giving the rich black hue an earthy depth and skin-friendly properties.
-
Body Motifs: Features scattered, artisanal wax batik motifs in a soft, natural cream shade, including delicate paisley (kalka) and radial fan/sunburst boottis across the length.
-
Borders: Framed by intricate geometric running borders featuring fine tribal or botanical arrow-like patterns along the top and bottom edges.
-
Pallu (Decorative End): Elaborately designed with multi-tiered geometric lattice work, diamond checks, small speckled boottis, and a matching ornamental frame.
-
Blouse Piece: Paired with a matching black mul cotton blouse featuring fine off-white print motifs and coordinated border detailing on the sleeves.
Fabric & Care
-
Material: 100% Mul Cotton dyed with organic Vanaspati extracts (lightweight, highly breathable, ideal for all-day wear and sensitive skin).
-
Maintenance: Gentle home hand-wash separately in cold water with a mild or neutral liquid detergent to preserve the natural plant dyes. Do not soak or dry in direct sunlight; no starch required—maintains its soft, fluid drape naturally over time.
- Length 6.4 meters (including Blouse Piece)
