They no longer make Chanderi sarees like they used to, but the one you see on this page is a classic. Featuring the contemporary silk warp that lends these sarees an inimitable sheen, this number has all the hallmarks of the kind of sarees woven in Chanderi, Behranpur, and Maheshvar for the maharanis of Nagpur, Gwalior, and Baroda: the traditional ivory colouring of the field that comes from the unbleached fabric, a narrow border of complementary warp zari and the single wide band at the edge of the endpiece, and the gorgeous booties on the body of the endpiece.

This would make it an unusual yet select addition to your trousseau. The gracious strip of pink along the border makes for an ultra-feminine statement. The strategic proportions of gold zari in this saree - the outer edge of the border as well as the booties on the pallu - add to its bridal appeal. A couple of such handpicked Chanderis would be great for wearing when meeting members of the extended family at your new home, especially if you team them with your signature gold pieces.
