Striped

Striped sarees bring clean lines and colour to everyday and occasion wear. This collection of 222 sarees is for shoppers who want a saree that looks put together without heavy ornament, from office days and family gatherings to festivals and weddings. Every piece is sold factory-direct from Surat.

What makes a striped saree

A striped saree carries horizontal, vertical or diagonal stripes along its length. The stripes can be thin or broad, in one shade or many, and plain, printed or woven with gold zari. Colours range from classic black and white to red, blue, yellow and more, and the combination changes the mood of the saree.

How to choose one

• Chiffon: light and fluid, the largest group here, often with gold zari stripes. A good choice for parties and evening events.
• Leheriya: diagonal wave-like stripes, popular for festivals and celebrations.
• Tussar and silk: a little more body and a richer feel, suited to weddings and formal occasions.
• Linen: crisp and breathable, suited to daily and office wear.

Bold stripes make a statement, while narrow, tone-on-tone stripes look quieter. Choose by occasion first, then by weight and colour.

Care

Check the care label on each saree. Chiffon and zari pieces are best dry cleaned or washed gently by hand, and silk and tussar are best dry cleaned. Store sarees folded in a cotton or muslin cloth, away from direct sun.
