Deep Green Premium Mukkati Sungudi Saree with Blouse

Description

Deep Green 120 Count Premium Mukkati Sungudi Saree — Straight from the Looms

Deep green and mustard golden yellow is a combination that feels both earthy and rich at the same time. This sungudi saree carries that warmth beautifully — the dark green body, scattered with golden Mukkati dots, has a subtle shimmer to it even before you notice the zari border. It’s the kind of piece that looks even better in person than in photographs.

The Kattu Saayam process — what makes this saree special

This is an Achu Kattu Sungudi — one of Madurai’s most authentic sungudi saree styles, made using traditional clamp and wax-resist dyeing, a labour-intensive method that no machine can replicate. Artisans hand-stamp hot wax in precise three-dot Mukkati patterns onto the cotton fabric using carved wooden blocks. Every single dot is placed individually by hand, here in a warm mustard golden yellow that echoes the blouse colour perfectly. The fabric is then dyed, the wax removed, and what’s left is that characteristic Mukkati grouping scattered across the deep green body — slightly irregular, completely unique, entirely handmade.

What sets this piece apart is the 120 count cotton — a finer thread count that gives the fabric a noticeably softer drape and a more refined finish than our standard sungudi sarees. The single side border features a traditional peacock motif woven in gold zari, and the pallu carries fine gold zari lines across its length, adding subtle shimmer without overwhelming the design.

This saree comes with a separate mustard golden yellow blouse piece in a gold checked pattern, finished with a gold peacock motif border — a contrast piece designed to be tailored separately, giving you the freedom to style the blouse exactly the way you want.

No two pieces are identical. That’s not a flaw — that’s the point.

A note about colour — please read before ordering

Because these sarees are traditionally hand-dyed using natural processes, colour bleeding is expected — especially in the first few washes. This is completely normal and a sign of authentic dyeing. Actual colour may also appear slightly different from photos due to lighting and screen settings. You may also notice slight sand smudges; sungudi sarees are dyed and dried in sand under sunlight as part of the traditional process.

Care instructions:

• First wash: Soak in cold water with a handful of rock salt for 15–20 minutes to help lock colour
• Wash separately: Hand wash alone with mild shampoo or liquid detergent — no washing machine, no harsh bleach
• Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring), dry in shade — not direct sunlight
• Avoid long soaking; these are made from fine threads

A word on handcrafted pieces

Every Achu Kattu sungudi saree is handmade, and slight variations in weave, pattern placement, or colour tone are natural and expected. A few thread pulls here and there are part of what makes a handcrafted piece genuinely handcrafted.
