A saree that earns its place in a wardrobe rather than sitting at the back of it. It is made up in banarasi silk and finished in green, a combination that reads as considered rather than loud.

It moves between everyday wear and occasions without needing much thought. Small variations in print placement and shade are normal on pieces like this and are not faults.

Care is the usual: dry-clean anything with zari or dense embroidery, hand-wash cottons and rayons in cold water, and dry in shade rather than direct sun.
