White & Red Paisley Kashmiri Silk Saree | Taal

A crisp white paisley ground finished with a bold mustard-and-red banded pallu.

Why this piece

• Opaque — a light 50 GSM drape that still isn't see-through, so you can wear it as it is.
• Colour that stays put — colourfast on our own in-house testing, so the print holds through careful washing.
• Bold pallu — a mustard, red and white banded pallu does the talking against a crisp white ground.

The print

This piece carries a small paisley with floral elements in white and red, with mustard yellow, brown and black picking out the detail. It's digitally printed through a specialist converter in Bangalore, with the same print route on every piece, so the colour and the repeat stay consistent from the drape to the pallu. Colour hues may vary slightly from the images because of different screens and displays.

The drape

The cloth is soft and smooth with a fluid, lightweight fall — a measured 50 GSM at 425 g in total, opaque. It runs 6.2–6.3 m in total at 44–45 inches wide: a 5.5 m drape plus an 80 cm running blouse piece in the same width, included.

It ships as an unstitched drape, which is also the form that keeps it eligible for return or exchange — so you can open it, check the colour in daylight, and only then separate the 80 cm blouse piece and have the fall and edges finished before the first wear.

Wearing it

A crisp white ground with a bold pallu carries daytime celebrations and festive daytime functions, and stays light and comfortable throughout. A matching blouse piece comes in the length, so there's no separate fabric to source and colour-match.
