{"product_id":"dual-tone-rose-gold-and-black-katan-silk-saree-with-zari-border","title":"Peach and Black Katan Silk Saree with Zari Border","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a dual-tone soft katan silk saree — a rose gold body running into a black pallu, with a broad antique gold zari brocade border carrying across both. The brocade is the most detailed in our katan range: rows of woven peacocks and paisley, framed by narrower zari bands, with small gold buttas scattered across the black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you are buying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft katan silk — a denser semi-silk weave, not pure katan and not pure mulberry silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e dual tone — rose gold body with a black pallu and border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork:\u003c\/strong\u003e broad antique gold zari brocade border with woven peacock and paisley motifs, gold zari buttas on the black, tasselled pallu\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the fabric\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatan is a tighter, denser weave than our soft silk, which gives it more body and a crisper fall. The silk is sourced from Golghar market in Varanasi, where the founder selects fabric directly from weaver families each season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zari is woven into the fabric on the loom rather than printed, glued or applied afterwards. On a brocade this detailed it is obvious up close — the peacock motifs have raised texture and catch light unevenly, where a printed border would sit completely flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a dual-tone saree drapes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing before you buy: on a dual-tone saree, where the colour changes depends on how you pleat it. Drape it as photographed and the black sits low with rose gold across the shoulder. Take more fabric into the pleats and the black rises; take less and more rose gold shows at the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a flaw — it means the saree can be worn two or three visibly different ways. But your drape will not look identical to ours, and we would rather say so here than have it surprise you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich occasions this saree suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReception and sangeet:\u003c\/strong\u003e rose gold with black is a more modern pairing than most of our range, and it photographs well under artificial light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeddings, as a guest:\u003c\/strong\u003e festive and formal, and nowhere near the shades a guest is traditionally asked to avoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiwali and evening parties:\u003c\/strong\u003e the metallic sheen on the rose gold half is what this saree is built for\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngagement and anniversary functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e dressy without reading as traditional bridal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGifting:\u003c\/strong\u003e the dual-tone construction makes it feel less ordinary than a single-colour saree at a similar price\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style a rose gold and black katan silk saree\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlouse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold or antique gold brocade, as photographed, is the natural choice and picks up the border directly. Black makes it sharper and more modern. Deep wine and emerald green are the two contrasts worth considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the blouse solid or simply woven. A brocade border this detailed against a busy blouse is too much happening at once — this is the one saree in the range where restraint matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJewellery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePearl, as photographed, sits beautifully with rose gold and keeps the look contemporary. Antique gold and kundan take it more traditional. Rose gold jewellery is the one metal that genuinely matches the body of this saree, which is unusual. Pick one and stay with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFootwear and finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo to three inch heels. A clutch rather than a potli — this saree reads modern and a structured bag suits it. Hair tied or in a low bun so the pallu stays visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColour note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRose gold is a warm metallic and it sits close to the face on this drape, which lifts most complexions. The black grounds it and gives the saree the depth that a rose gold on its own would lack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSize, length and drape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saree is 6.5 metres long, measuring the body, border and pallu together. It is free size — the drape adjusts for heights of roughly 5'0\" to 5'10\". If you are on the shorter side, tuck the plain end slightly inward before you begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatan is denser than our soft silk, so it holds a pleat crisply and keeps its shape through the evening. This border is broad and weighty — pin the pallu securely at the shoulder. Around 5 to 7 pleats at the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for this saree\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean is strongly recommended for katan — the density of the weave and the width of the brocade border make it the safer route throughout the saree's life, not only for the first wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever machine wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not wring, and never hang wet silk — it stretches and warps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-tone fabric is worth keeping separate from other washing in any case — the pale half shows any colour transfer first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore folded in muslin or cotton cloth with a silica gel sachet, not in a plastic bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AbirabyBeena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71328635257085,"sku":"BS-KS-RGB-OOO","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/5774\/7709\/files\/rose-gold-black-katan-silk-saree-front.jpg?v=1789810644","url":"https:\/\/www.abirabybeena.com\/products\/dual-tone-rose-gold-and-black-katan-silk-saree-with-zari-border","provider":"AbirabyBeena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
