Brown Sungudi Batik Saree with Striped Wedge Motifs

Description

Brown Sungudi Batik Saree with Striped Wedge Motifs and Elaborate Vine Pallu

Small striped wedge motifs in yellow sit scattered across this deep brown base, each one a compact fan of fine lines that keeps the body light without being sparse. Then the pallu opens up into a much more detailed spread of swirling vine work, framed by gold zari stripes running through it.

What makes this a batik sungudi saree

This piece is made using the traditional clamp and wax-resist dyeing technique, with wax stamped onto the fabric in these striped wedge and vine motifs before dyeing. As the wax handles through the process, it naturally develops fine cracks, letting the dye seep through in places — this is what gives batik work its signature crackle texture. No two pieces crackle exactly the same way, which is part of what makes each one genuinely one of a kind.

The body keeps things simple with scattered striped wedge motifs on brown, while the border stays clean with a mango pattern running alongside gold zari lines. The pallu is where this saree really opens up — a denser, more elaborate spread of vine scrollwork with the striped wedge motifs woven back in, giving the drape a proper finishing moment without tipping into anything too heavy for daily wear.

This saree comes without a blouse piece, so you’re free to pair it with whatever you already have on hand or get one stitched to match.

As with all our batik sungudi sarees, no two pieces are identical — the crackle pattern and motif placement will vary slightly from what’s shown in photos.

A note about the dyeing process
🌸 During the dyeing process, our sungudi sarees are traditionally dried on sand. Because of this, you may notice slight sand-coloured marks on some sarees. This is not a defect or a colour issue — these marks will disappear after the first wash.

Care instructions:

• Hand wash separately in cold water with mild detergent
• Avoid machine wash and harsh bleach
• Gently squeeze, dry in shade
• Avoid long soaking

Actual colour may appear slightly different from photos due to lighting and screen settings. Slight variations in weave, pattern placement, or colour tone are natural and expected in a handcrafted piece.
