Aari Zardozi Border Sari
“The handcrafted ajrakh block-printed modal silk sari combines the luxury of silk with the comfort of cotton.”
The double borders are adorned with a contemporary choufal buta, which displays geometric patterns that run the length of the sari.
The charismatic fusion of indigo, black, crème, and maroon in the motifs creates a captivating palette.
Adorning the pallu (end-piece) are exquisite floral patterns, equidistantly spaced and interconnected by multiple line forms.
