Basanti: 100 count Phulia Cotton
By Phulia's Padma Shri Cluster
Saree Story
Mustard fields in bloom lent me their colour, and I never gave it back. Beside that brightness, my weaver laid a band of soft dove grey, calm as a monsoon cloud resting on the horizon. Run your fingers along my edge and you will find little kalkas in resham, curling one after another between neat rows of woven checks. My pallu holds wide stripes of grey and yellow, drawn like the lines of a song you already know by heart. Light as a breath of air, I settle on the skin with the gentlest touch. Wherever I go, I bring spring along with me.
Handloom Perfection
Handloom sarees are made by human hands, not machines. Which means every piece carries the natural variations of the loom and the weaver, proof that someone, somewhere, made this just for you.
Description
A Phulia handloom cotton saree in a bright lemon yellow, woven light and airy for effortless everyday drape. The solid yellow canvas meets a broad dove grey border, joined by a woven resham band of navy kalka motifs framed with fine checkered rows. The pallu carries wide grey bands layered with delicate yellow pinstripes and finishes in hand-twisted tassels of yellow and grey.
Weaver
Days to make the saree
Every 100-count Phulia cotton saree takes around 8–12 days to complete. Fine cotton yarns demand patience at every stage—from preparing the warp to weaving each delicate pick by hand. What appears effortless when draped is the result of more than a week's work by artisans whose families have perfected this craft over generations.

Technique
Saree with Blouse Piece
This saree does not come with a blouse piece. We recommend pairing it with a sleeveless or short-sleeved blouse in body or border colour.
Care Instructions
First Wash: Dry clean for the first wash to preserve the finish and the zari or resham border. Thereafter: Hand wash separately in cold water using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid soaking for long periods. Do Not: Use bleach, harsh detergents, or wring the saree aggressively, as fine-count cotton fibres deserve gentle handling. Drying: Dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight, to retain the richness of the colours. Ironing: Iron on a medium cotton setting while the saree is slightly damp, or use steam for the best finish. Storage: Fold neatly and store in a cool, dry place. If the saree has a zari border, wrap it in a soft muslin cloth and avoid storing it in plastic. Refold it occasionally to prevent permanent creases.
