Kasturi — Black Geometric Stripe Modal Silk Saree | Awadhalaya

Bold print. Quiet confidence.

Kasturi brings together two visual languages that rarely appear on the same saree — disciplined pinstripes across the body and a richly detailed geometric pallu. Crafted in modal silk, it drapes with fluid ease while retaining the quiet structure that makes the print stand out.

Fine black-and-cream pinstripes run the full length of the body, framed by a sharp cream temple-tooth zigzag border. The pallu shifts register entirely — circular medallions, geometric triangle bands, and a single navy accent stripe in an Ajrakh-inspired layout, dense with detail but never busy.

• FABRIC & FEEL
  Modal-silk blend. Soft natural sheen, fluid drape, clean defined pleats. Lightweight and breathable, comfortable for long wear.
• BORDER & PALLU
  A continuous cream temple-tooth border runs the length of the saree. The pallu carries an Ajrakh-inspired composition — mandala medallions, triangle bands, and a navy accent stripe — for a graphic, structured contrast to the striped body.

WHY WE CHOSE THIS PRODUCT
Stripe and Ajrakh-style print together is an unusual pairing — most sarees pick one language and stay there. Kasturi runs both, and somehow stays disciplined about it. We chose it because it photographs like a statement but wears like an everyday saree.
