The Saree
Delicate, luminous and quietly celebratory, this exclusive handwoven Kora saree from Bunavat's Punchiri collection is a beautiful ode to nature's simplest forms. Woven on an elegant natural Kora base, the saree is crafted from an exquisite blend of silk and ultra-fine 150-count handspun cotton, lending it an ethereal translucence, exceptional softness and an effortlessly fluid drape. Scattered gently across the body are tiny rai dana (mustard seed)-inspired hand block prints in a fresh green hue. Minimal yet deeply expressive, these delicate polka-like motifs create a subtle texture across the canvas, bringing a sense of lightness and organic rhythm to the weave.
Framing this serene composition are classic thin bronze-gold zari borders that lend the saree a soft festive glow. Running alongside both the upper and lower borders is a closely arranged floral hand block print in warm bronze, creating an elegant dialogue between the shimmer of zari and the artistry of hand printing. The restrained palette of natural Kora, bronze and green evokes the freshness of Kerala's lush landscapes during Onam, making this saree a timeless companion for festive mornings, temple visits, intimate celebrations and elegant gatherings alike.
The Pallu
The pallu unfolds with quiet refinement, beginning with a graceful row of turned floral hand block-printed motifs in rich green that beautifully echo the botanical language of the body. This handcrafted detail gently transitions into a fifteen-inch field of finely woven bronze-gold zari stripes, each thoughtfully spaced half an inch apart to create a measured rhythm of light across the translucent Kora weave. The pallu concludes with meticulously handcrafted tassels that lend the drape a delicate artisanal finish, perfectly embodying the understated luxury of the Punchiri collection.
The Blouse
The saree comes with a matching blouse piece woven on the same elegant Kora base and adorned with a geometric green grid hand block print throughout. The clean, structured pattern offers a beautiful contrast to the organic motifs on the saree, allowing for versatile styling. Tailor it into a timeless elbow-sleeved blouse, a refined boat-neck silhouette or a contemporary sleeveless blouse that complements the saree's effortless elegance.
