About the Gulbahar collection

Gulbahar means "spring of flowers". It is Silk Ethnics' collection of hand embroidered Chanderi silk-cotton sarees, with every motif hand embroidered on a light ivory Chanderi base. The richness comes from the handwork rather than heavy zari, so each saree feels special yet stays light to wear.

Where to wear this ivory and black saree

Wear it to Diwali parties, festive evenings, sangeet and cocktail functions, family celebrations and dinners. Its elegant monochrome look also works for formal occasions such as office festive events, award functions, conferences and school or college events where you want to look graceful and polished. It makes a stylish gift for a sister, friend or anyone who loves black and white.

How to style it

Festive and dramatic: pair it with a black blouse, silver or oxidised statement jhumkas, a bold red lip and a small bindi for a striking evening look.
Classic and elegant: choose an ivory or white blouse with layered pearls and pearl studs for a soft, refined monochrome look.
Boho: wear it with a black sleeveless blouse, oxidised silver chokers and bangles, a macramé potli bag and kolhapuris for a relaxed, artsy vibe.

Each piece is a work of art which uniquely displays the craftsperson's skill. The beauty of handcrafted fabric is that no two pieces look exactly alike, and minute flaws are very common. The imperfections can be anything from an uneven yarn to a slight variation in the embroidery. The beauty of an original handcrafted saree lies in its imperfections.

Pls note that there may be a mild colour variation in the saree due to colour reproduction in camera and screen.
