Bottle Green Bandhani Zari Georgette Saree

A bottle green georgette saree in real Bandhani, cut 6.5 metres including an amber yellow blouse piece. The yellow Bandhani dots are tie-dyed by hand, not printed — each one tied off before the fabric goes into the dye, which is why the fabric is still crushed around every knot. Gold zari butis sit between them across the deep green body.

The lower border opens into a wide zari band of large paisley and floral motifs, and the amber yellow blouse piece carries its own gold zari butis and a heavy matching border.

Green and amber is an older, more traditional pairing than the pinks and pastels that dominate festive racks, and it is the reason this saree stands out. Deep enough for an evening function, warm enough for a daytime one.

What you're getting

• Fabric: Georgette
• Colour: Bottle green with gold zari, and an amber yellow blouse piece
• Craft: Real tie-dyed Bandhani, with gold zari butis and a zari border
• Blouse: Amber yellow blouse fabric with zari work, included in the 6.5 metres
• Length: 6.5 metres, including blouse fabric

Where to wear it

Weddings as a guest, sangeet and mehendi functions, pujas, festive occasions and family celebrations.

How to style it

Gold jewellery matches the zari; kundan or temple jewellery suits the traditional palette. The amber yellow blouse piece is the contrast the saree is designed around — stitching it in a deep green instead would lose the effect.

Caring for it

Dry clean only. Zari needs gentle handling: steam iron on low heat, avoid pressing directly over the zari, and store the saree folded in a muslin cover away from direct sunlight.

Please note: slight colour variation from the images is possible due to camera settings and lighting. Returns and exchanges are not accepted on this ground.

Frequently asked questions

Is this real Bandhani or a Bandhani print?
Real Bandhani. The dots are tie-dyed — small sections of fabric are tied off by hand before dyeing, so the colour cannot reach them. This is not a printed imitation.

How can I tell real Bandhani from a print?
Tie-dyed Bandhani leaves the fabric crushed and puckered around each knot, and the dots vary slightly in size and shape. A print is flat and perfectly uniform. On this saree you can see and feel the texture where every dot was tied.

What fabric is this saree made of?
Georgette, which is light with a soft, flowing drape. It is not a silk or a silk blend.

What is zari?
Zari is metallic thread. Here it forms the butis across the body, the wide paisley and floral border, and the work on the amber yellow blouse piece.

Does this saree come with a blouse?
Yes. An amber yellow blouse piece with zari work is included in the 6.5 metre length. It needs to be stitched to your measurements; a stitched blouse is not included.

What is the length of this saree?
6.5 metres in total, including the blouse fabric.

Why do the Bandhani dots vary slightly?
Because each one is tied by hand. Small variations in size, shape and depth of colour are the signature of the craft, not a defect — a perfectly even pattern would mean it was printed.

Can I wear this saree to a wedding?
Yes. The zari border and Bandhani work make it a festive saree, suited to weddings as a guest, sangeet and mehendi functions and pujas.

What jewellery goes with it?
Gold to match the zari, or kundan and temple jewellery for the traditional look.

How do I care for a Bandhani zari saree?
Dry clean only. Steam iron on low heat, avoid pressing over the zari, and store it folded in a muslin cover.

How long will delivery take, and is COD available?
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 business days and delivered across India in 3–7 business days. Prepaid orders ship free. Cash on Delivery is available with a nominal handling charge of ₹59.

Can I return or exchange this saree?
You must raise a return or exchange within 48 hours of delivery. Returns are accepted for damaged or defective products, with images shared. You can also exchange the saree if it isn't right for you, as long as it's unused, with tags, packaging and invoice intact. Slight colour variation due to screen and lighting isn't grounds for a return.
