Frequently bought together

Why is the red saree described as Varisaipet?
Its border is organised into several orderly zari registers, including slim stripes and a wider decorative brocade band. Varisaipet is the traditional name for this layered border approach.
Are the tiny gold flowers embroidered onto the scarlet body?
The fine stripe and floral details are woven into the saree design, rather than described as separate surface embroidery. They give the bright red a delicate, repeating texture.
Can the scarlet saree be styled for a daytime ceremony?
Yes. A plain red blouse, neat pleats and simple gold jewellery keep the saturated colour composed. The zari border becomes more noticeable when the pallu is carried over the shoulder.
Can I request an elbow-length blouse sleeve?
Idam Living offers custom blouse stitching and can discuss sleeve and neckline preferences from your measurements. The saree includes a 0.8 m running blouse piece.
What is the best way to store its gold zari border?
Keep the saree folded in soft muslin, away from direct sunlight. Refold it periodically along different lines and use professional dry cleaning.
