The Saree
An exquisite masterclass in clean architecture and everyday drapeability, the body of the saree is woven from fine, breathable pure cotton in a sophisticated steel blue shade. In a beautiful departure from typical grids, the muted blue body is adorned with delicate, minimalist vertical white dash lines, allowing the vibrant framing elements to pop. Bordering this cool body is a traditional, handwoven Ilkal border built on a striking, high-visibility chartreuse and lime yellow-green base, framed by neat structural stripes. Crafted from a premium art silk (viscose rayon) and cotton mix, this high-contrast border runs elegantly along the length of the pure cotton fabric, providing an immaculate weight and structural edge to the silhouette.
The Pallu
The magnificent pallu is woven from pure mulberry silk, showcasing the authentic, storied Topi Teni weaving art. Using this traditional interlocking warp technique, the luxurious pure silk pallu is masterfully joined directly to the steel blue cotton body of the saree. It transitions dynamically into a brilliant, glossy cyan-blue block adorned with traditional ikat-like temple towers (tope). It then culminates in the classic, signature Ilkal layout of alternating cyan, chartreuse, and golden-olive horizontal bands.
The Blouse
Comes with a matching running pure cotton fabric piece in steel blue with dash accents, framed by the vivid chartreuse/lime borders for the sleeves to create a highly sophisticated, complete look.

Note from the Loom: This saree is a certified handloom masterpiece from the Ilkal cluster. The Topi Teni technique involves physically interlocking the silk warp of the pallu with the cotton warp of the body. Any minor slubs, tiny irregularities, or thread variations at the joint are prized characteristics of this highly intensive manual process.
Product Note: Being a handwoven product, slight variations in colour, weave, or design are natural and reflect the authentic beauty of handcrafted textiles. The blouses featured in the photoshoots are for representation purposes only and are not for sale.
Product Note
This is a completely handmade product from craftspeople and therefore, slight variations in colors or design may occur across pieces. Any slight irregularities are distinctive and inherent to the beauty of this creation due to the nature of the product. We have tried to capture the color in natural light, however there may be slight variations due to individual screen settings.
We hope you enjoy draping this wearable art which is truly a labor of love. Our weavers and artisans put in their utmost efforts and skills in making these products, which are a living testimony of our country’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.
