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 rich and festive without the weight of heavy zari.

Kantha and phulkari, together on one saree

Kantha is Bengal's traditional running-stitch embroidery, used for fine outlines and borders. Phulkari, meaning "flower work", is Punjab's traditional embroidery known for its floral and geometric motifs. Here the two crafts meet in red, teal and pink on an ivory Chanderi base.

Where to wear this ivory, red and teal saree

Wear it for Diwali, Karva Chauth, Lohri, Baisakhi, Navratri and Durga Puja, temple visits, pooja at home, mehendi and haldi functions, and family celebrations. Its festive red and teal palette also makes it a joyful gift for a mother, sister or friend.

How to style it

Festive and traditional: pair it with a red blouse, gold-toned jhumkas, red and gold bangles and a gajra.
Soft and elegant: choose a teal blouse with layered pearls and pearl drops for a graceful pooja or day-function look.
Boho: wear an ivory or mustard sleeveless blouse with oxidised silver jewellery, a macramé potli bag and kolhapuris to bring out the folk vibe of the tassels.

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.
