Modal Silk Ajrakh Hand Block Kalgha Buti Saree in Black

Black is the ground that makes every colour absolute. On this modal silk, cream and teal kalgha butis cover the entire body in a dense continuous scatter, each paisley form outlined in gold and filled with fine internal detailing that rewards close inspection. The coverage is total and precise, the butis placed with the regularity of a pattern that has been refined across many iterations of block and dye. The border builds in scale and layering. A dense teal phulwar bel runs between gold chevron dividers. Large kalgha medallion forms in cream and teal follow, each one more elaborate than the body butis. A peacock feather drop row closes the top edge. The three colours — black, cream, and teal — hold their conversation across the full length of the saree without any one of them overpowering the others. Modal silk takes Ajrakh hand block work with a softness and drape that makes the fabric move continuously. The colours sit deep into the fibre. A saree for those who want craft that is both bold and precise.
