Nalini
Rooted in the quiet splendor of a secluded forest pond, this saree captures the tranquil harmony of sun-dappled moss kissed by fresh morning blooms. Spun from authentic, breathable Khadi, the drape carries a rich organic slub texture that rests weightlessly against the skin while holding an effortless, sculptural silhouette. Hand-stitched lotus petals in striking magenta bloom across the earthy olive expanse, creating an enchanting contrast between raw handloom textures and refined botanical artistry.

Caring Tips
-
Dry clean recommended for the first wash to protect the integrity of the hand embroidery and tassel details.
-
For later washes, gently hand-wash in cold water with a mild, pH-neutral liquid detergent.
-
Dry flat inside-out in shade; avoid harsh direct sunlight to keep the natural green dye vibrant.
-
Warm iron on the reverse side of the embroidery, or use a handheld garment steamer.
