Red & Orange Paisley Kashmiri Silk Saree | Taal

A warm red, brown and orange paisley closed by a wide, multi-banded striped pallu.

Why this saree

• Opaque — a light 50 GSM drape that still isn't see-through, so you can wear it as it is.
• Colour that stays put — colourfast on our own in-house testing, so the print holds through careful washing.
• Banded pallu — a wide pallu of grey, orange, yellow and pink bands carries all the colour, so the body stays wearable.

The print

This piece carries a small-scale paisley threaded with floral detail in red, brown and orange, with grey, pink, yellow, black and white picking out the detail. It's digitally printed through a specialist converter in Bangalore, with the same print route on every piece, so the colour and the repeat stay consistent from the drape to the pallu. Colour hues may vary slightly from the images because of different screens and displays.

The drape

The cloth is soft and smooth with a fluid, lightweight fall — a measured 50 GSM at 425 g in total, opaque. It runs 6.2–6.3 m in total at 44–45 inches wide: a 5.5 m drape plus an 80 cm running blouse piece in the same width, included.

It ships as an unstitched drape, which is also the form that keeps it eligible for return or exchange — so you can open it, check the colour in daylight, and only then separate the 80 cm blouse piece and have the fall and edges finished before the first wear.

Wearing it

The warm, festive colour suits daytime celebrations and festive gatherings, and the light weight means you can wear it right through a long function. Instead of a bare 'dry clean only', you get a full, tested care routine that keeps the colour bright.
