About the Gulbahar collection

Gulbahar, which means "spring of flowers", is Silk Ethnics' collection of hand embroidered Chanderi silk-cotton sarees. Every motif is hand embroidered on a light ivory Chanderi base, so each saree feels special and festive without the weight of heavy zari.

Where to wear this ivory and red saree

Ivory and red is a timeless festive pairing, perfect for Diwali, Durga Puja and Karva Chauth, temple visits, pooja at home, griha pravesh and family celebrations. It also suits wedding functions like haldi, mehendi and engagement ceremonies, and makes a beautiful festive gift for a mother, sister or daughter-in-law.

How to style it

Festive and traditional: pair it with a red or maroon blouse, gold-toned temple jewellery, red and gold bangles and a gajra for a classic Diwali look.
Soft and elegant: choose an ivory or gold blouse with layered pearls and pearl drops for a graceful pooja or evening look.
Boho: wear a black blouse with oxidised silver jhumkas, a macramé potli bag and kolhapuris for a relaxed festive day out.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What sets the Gulbahar collection apart? Gulbahar combines the light, softly lustrous Chanderi silk-cotton weave with rich hand embroidery. Since every motif is hand embroidered, each Gulbahar saree carries its own small variations and no two are exactly the same. The festive richness comes from the handwork rather than heavy zari, so the saree stays light enough to wear from morning pooja to evening celebrations.

What is this saree made of? This Ivory and Red Gulbahar saree is made of Chanderi silk-cotton, with red hand embroidery across the body and an embroidered border and pallu. The blouse is attached, and the total length is 6.3 to 6.5m (5.5m saree and 80cm blouse).
