Cream Pochampally Handwoven Ikat Silk Saree — Blood Red Contrast Pallu & Plain Blouse
A royal cream Pochampally handwoven ikat silk saree with a blood red contrast pallu and a plain blouse piece.
Cream is the hardest ground colour to weave well. There is no depth of dye to cover an uneven thread, so every irregularity in the ikat shows — which is exactly why a good cream Pochampally is a weaver's piece. The blood red pallu is the counterweight: dark, saturated, and heavy enough to anchor a pale drape that would otherwise float.
The plain blouse is the right call with a saree like this. The interest is in the pallu, and it does not need company.

Care
Dry clean only, and never attempt a home spot-clean — on cream silk it will leave a visible ring. The deep red pallu is the bleed risk, so keep the saree dry and air it before storing. Wrap in unbleached muslin, never plastic.
