Border Sarees
Navami
Saptami
A note from Swtantra
It all starts at the edge
A good border frames the whole drape and makes your pleats look sharper. It even helps you pleat, because the line guides every fold. Every saree here is built around its edge: woven zari, an embroidered band or a block of contrast fabric.
For everyday, we love the cotton chanderis in black, white, green and yellow with gold borders. Dola silks in yellow and wine carry zari. Festive days call for the pink and yellow pure silk chiffon ombre with its gota patti kairi border.
Because the border does the dressing up, one saree can go to a pooja morning and then Durga Puja with nothing more than a change of jewellery. Gold jhumkas suit the zari and gota pieces. Silver studs suit the linen and the posh borders.
Pick up the border colour in your blouse. A gold border loves tissue or brocade, while cream satin edged in black posh fabric just needs one of our plain black blouses. For more heritage weaves, browse our traditional sarees, or our cottons for the office.
Good to know
What's a posh border?
On these sarees, it's a band of contrast fabric, like black on cream satin, stitched along the edge for a bold, modern frame.
Are the cotton chanderi sarees good for office?
Yes. They stay light through a long working day, and the gold border keeps them looking polished.
Do these sarees include blouse fabric?
Many do, and the product title says so. A few come with a stitched blouse or without blouse fabric.
