Kusum: 100 count Phulia Cotton
By Phulia's Padma Shri Cluster
Saree Story
I am Kusum. I carry the colour of blossoms that never ask permission to bloom. My fuchsia speaks with quiet confidence, while my blush pallu reminds it that elegance is never loud. Woven in the hundred-count cotton of Phulia, I am light enough to become part of your everyday rituals, yet special enough to return for every celebration. I do not chase attention. Like a flower in full bloom, I simply make it impossible to look away.
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 luminous fuchsia body unfolds into a soft blush-pink pallu, framed by finely woven geometric borders and delicate stripes that lend rhythm to the drape. The colours are joyful yet sophisticated, creating a saree that feels equally at home at a festive brunch, an intimate celebration or a leisurely afternoon. Handwoven in 100-count Phulia cotton, Kusumita is light as air, remarkably breathable and beautifully fluid. Its fine yarn allows the fabric to fall effortlessly while preserving the unmistakable crispness of authentic Phulia handloom—a saree that celebrates simplicity with extraordinary finesse.
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.

Fabric
Crafted from fine 100-count cotton yarn, prized for its exceptional softness, airy drape and feather-light feel. The finer the count, the finer the yarn—creating a fabric that is breathable without feeling coarse, with a graceful fall that only improves with every wash.
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 fuchsia pink for a bold monochromatic look, or blush pink for a softer, more understated elegance. Both combinations create a timeless, refined silhouette.
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.
