No dye, no zari, no print. Just the silk and the loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the weave\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThese are \u003cstrong\u003edobby\u003c\/strong\u003e motifs. A dobby head on the loom lifts small groups of warp threads to build a geometric figure as the cloth is woven, so the chevrons are made of fine ivory yarn locked into the structure rather than printed or embroidered onto the surface. Run a hand across and you feel them; turn the saree over and they are worked from the other side too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe whole thing is tone on tone. From a distance the saree reads as plain honey gold with a faint texture; close up it resolves into stepped lines marching diagonally, changing direction as the light moves. It is the quietest saree in this collection and probably the most confident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePure tussar silk, handwoven in Bhagalpur, left undyed. Tussar has a natural slub and a soft matte lustre rather than a flat shine, and in its natural state carries a warm golden cast that no dyed gold reproduces. It drapes with body and holds a pleat well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it's for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA saree for the occasions where you don't want to be the brightest thing in the room — a formal working day, a daytime function, an evening where the jewellery should do the talking. It takes gold, pearl and oxidised silver equally well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric: Pure Tussar Silk, undyed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Natural honey gold with ivory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Dobby-woven chevron motifs, tone on tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Stepped ivory chevrons throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePallu: Continued chevron dobby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlouse piece:  unstitched, 0.80 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaree length: 5.5 m | Width: 1.1 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Dry clean only.
