Navy Blue Premium Batik Sungudi Saree with Butterfly Motif

Description

Navy Blue Premium 120 Count Batik Sungudi Saree with Butterfly Motif — Straight from Madurai’s Looms

A stunning navy blue batik sungudi saree — deep, timeless, and beautifully offset by a soft rose that makes the contrast truly unforgettable. Butterflies scatter across the body in white batik, each one wax-stamped with that lovely irregular crackle, while the rose pallu carries an even more elaborate floral and paisley scroll design of its own. It’s a saree that photographs beautifully and looks even more striking in person.

What makes this a batik sungudi saree

This saree is made using the traditional clamp and wax-resist dyeing technique, where wax is stamped onto the fabric in the desired motifs before the cloth is dyed. Once dyed, the wax is removed, revealing the design underneath. As the wax handles through the process, it naturally cracks in places, letting fine lines of dye seep through — that’s what gives batik work its signature “crackle” texture. Look closely at the butterfly motifs on the body and the intricate work on the pallu, and you’ll see this fine crackle running through them — no two pieces ever crackle quite the same way, which is what makes each saree genuinely one of a kind.

What sets this piece apart further is the premium 120 count cotton, giving the fabric a noticeably softer drape and a more refined finish. The navy blue body carries the butterflies scattered across it, while the rose pallu takes things further with an elaborate batik design of floral sprays and paisley scrolls, framed by fine gold zari lines running through it — easily the most detailed part of the saree. The border running along the edges carries our classic Rettapet peacock design in gold zari, giving the whole piece a lovely balance between the free-flowing batik work and the more structured woven border.

The blouse comes attached, in the same rose, and carries the Rettapet peacock border worked in batik as well — so the whole saree feels cohesive from pallu to hem.

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

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.
