Shyama: 100 count Phulia Cotton
By Phulia's Padma Shri Cluster
Saree Story
Midnight black is my canvas, deep as kajal drawn with a steady hand. Red lines cross me in quiet clusters, like lanterns strung along a lane. My border glows in the same red, edged with a resham braid and floral motifs. Each motif sits close to the next, woven pick by patient pick. Soft and featherlight, I fall into my pleats with ease. I am Shyama, and every colour looks brighter beside 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 midnight black with a wide red border. A woven resham band of braided and floral motifs in red runs alongside. Clusters of fine red stripes cross the black canvas through the body and pallu. Hand-knotted tassels in black and red finish the end. Woven in fine 100-count Phulia cotton, she drapes softly and breathes through the day.
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 doesn't come with a blouse piece. A sleeveless or short-sleeved blouse in black or crimson red complements this saree beautifully, creating an elegant, timeless silhouette.
Care Instructions
First Wash: Dry clean for the first wash to preserve the finish. 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.
