Behind this piece
Beeswax yellow is not a colour chosen lightly. It carries the warmth of unprocessed honeycomb, of turmeric grounds left to dry in winter light. The heavy embroidered patch border on this crepe saree draws from a tradition of appliqué and threadwork embellishment practised across workshops in Gujarat and Rajasthan, where borders are constructed separately and sewn onto the ground fabric with meticulous care. Crepe, with its subtly crinkled drape, has long been favoured by urban Indian women for its forgiving weight and fluid movement. Here, the two meet with quiet confidence.
How to style
Wear this saree to a wedding reception with a deep ivory raw-silk blouse and antique gold Kundan jewellery; the border will do the rest. For a festive daytime function, pair it with a sleeveless brocade blouse in burnt umber and block-heeled mojris. If you are dressing for a curated art event or cultural evening, consider a structured high-neck blouse in champagne georgette, understated pearl drops at the ears, and strappy gold kolhapuris. In each reading, the beeswax ground stays warm and generous, shifting its mood entirely with the blouse you choose.
Fabric & care
Crepe is a delicate, twist-woven fabric that loses its characteristic texture if handled roughly. Dry-clean this saree after every second or third wear to preserve the embroidered patch border's integrity. If hand-washing at home, use cold water and a mild, pH-neutral detergent; never wring or scrub. Lay flat on a clean cotton towel to absorb moisture, then hang in shade. Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth between iron and fabric. Store folded in a muslin cloth, away from direct sunlight, to prevent the yellow ground from fading over time.
