Kalamkari Block Print Modal Silk Saree

Large kalamkari blooms, paisleys and birds drawn in madder red, black and ivory across a soft modal silk body, closed with a pleated gold tissue pallu and a deep contrast border. Kalamkari is built up in layers, each colour a separate block, which is why the motifs carry that hand-drawn warmth a print never quite manages. Seven grounds to choose from, each one a different mood. Comes with an unstitched matching blouse piece.
