Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a violet saree and a purple saree?

Violet leans towards blue and looks cooler, while purple sits evenly between red and blue. Deep violets read rich and formal; lighter purples look softer and suit the day.

Do you have light purple sarees?

Yes. Lilac Blush is a plain lavender mul cotton at ₹1,699, Calm a lavender handloom linen with a zari border at ₹4,499, and Solenne (₹3,399) and Amaris (₹4,499) are lavender floral prints on pure chiffon. Lilac Bloom is a lavender floral Original Dhakai jamdani at ₹4,999, and our lavender sarees page has more pastel shades.

Which purple saree is best for a daytime event?

Lighter shades look fresh in daylight. A lavender floral pure chiffon such as Solenne or Amaris suits day weddings, farewells and lunches, and each comes with a 1 m crepe blouse piece.

Do you have dark purple sarees?

Twilight Bloom is a plain deep violet mul cotton and Blueberry Pie a plain royal purple mul cotton, both at ₹1,699, and Tarini is a plain purple handloom tissue with zari for a festive evening. Pair them with a gold, zari or emerald blouse and gold jewellery.

Can I wear a purple cotton saree to the office?

Yes. Plain purple handloom mul cotton is light, quiet and comfortable through a long day. Pair it with an ivory, grey or black blouse.

Do your purple sarees come with a blouse piece?

Pure chiffon sarees such as Solenne and Amaris come with a 1 m crepe blouse piece and handloom linen such as Calm with a 1 m blouse piece. Plain mul cotton sarees such as Twilight Bloom have no blouse piece, and the Lilac Bloom and Tarini product pages give their blouse details.

How do I care for a purple saree?

Hand wash plain mul cotton gently in cold water, separately for the first few washes, and dry it in the shade. Dry clean pure chiffon, jamdani, linen and anything with zari.

What is jambhala colour?

Jambhala is the Marathi word for purple, the colour of the jamun fruit. A plain deep violet such as Twilight Bloom is close to the darker jambhala shades.

Which jewellery goes with a purple saree?

Gold and antique gold suit deep purple and zari; silver and pearls suit lavender and lilac. Emerald or green stones give a bold contrast with dark purple.

The Deep and Jewel-Toned Edit

Make a statement with a deeply saturated dark purple or vivid violet saree. These suit evening wear and festive gatherings, and they photograph well under artificial light. See our party wear edit for the full evening range.

Purple with a Contrast Blouse

Purple takes contrast beautifully. Gold and ivory keep it regal, while a deep green or pink blouse gives a bolder, more traditional pairing. A well chosen contrast blouse does more for a plain purple drape than any amount of surface work.

Softer Shades

Purple Colour Saree: Every Shade

Purple covers a wide family of shades, and the name you search for often decides the mood. Violet and deep violet, such as Twilight Bloom, are the richest. Royal purple, such as Tarini in cotton tissue, is the most festive. Light purple, lilac and lavender, such as Lilac Blush, Calm, Lilac Bloom and Amaris, are the softest. Dark purple suits evenings and winter weddings, while light purple colour sarees suit day events and the office.
