Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between red and maroon sarees?

Red is brighter and, in many families, the colour of weddings and festivals. Maroon and wine are deeper and more muted, so they look richest at night and are easier to wear again to dinners and receptions.

What blouse goes with a red saree?

Gold and ivory are the classic pairings. Deep green, black or pink give a more modern look, and a red or maroon blouse gives a sleek tonal line.

Which red saree is best for a party or reception?

For parties and farewells, Amélie in printed pure chiffon; for receptions and weddings, Ruby with its gold sequins or Reigning Queen in red tissue. For a deeper colour, Vintage Wine in maroon and red.

Do you have maroon or wine sarees?

Yes. Vintage Wine in chiffon and Main Event in handloom linen are maroon and red, After Hours is a wine red handloom linen, and True Garnet and Regal Pin Drop are maroon red mul modal.

Which red saree suits Karwa Chauth?

In many families red and maroon are the first choice. Manjari in red mul cotton with zari or Crimson Charm in red polka dot mul cotton suit a long day, while Ruby, Amélie or Vintage Wine in chiffon suit the evening puja.

Can I wear a red saree to the office?

Yes. True Garnet, a plain maroon red mul modal, is easy for daily office wear. For formal days, choose crisp handloom linen such as the red and blue checks of Corner Office or the maroon red of Main Event.

Which fabric suits a red saree best?

Mul cotton and mul modal are light and soft for daily wear and long day functions, chiffon is fluid for evenings, and handloom linen is crisp for office and formal days.

Do your red sarees come with a blouse piece?

It depends on the fabric. Our chiffon sarees come with a 1 m crepe blouse piece, handloom linen with a 1 m blouse piece and mul modal such as True Garnet with a 1 m running blouse piece, while mul cotton sarees such as Manjari come without one.

Are red chiffon sarees see-through?

Chiffon is light and semi-sheer, so wear a petticoat under it. Match the petticoat to the saree where you can; if you have no match on a light saree, nude usually shows less than white.

How do I stop a red saree from bleeding colour?

Hand wash red mul cotton or mul modal such as Crimson Charm, Poppy Seed or True Garnet gently in cold water, separately for the first few washes, and dry it in the shade. Dry clean zari, chiffon, tissue, embroidered, sequin and linen sarees.

Do you have a red and white saree?

Yes. Kamakshi is white mul cotton with a red border and a gold zari edge, and Devi is white mul cotton with gold and red detailing; both suit Durga Puja. Mohe Rang de is another red and white mul cotton saree.

What is your return policy?

You can return or exchange a saree within 7 days of delivery. Shipping is free across India on orders of ₹2,000 and above, and cash on delivery is available.

Red Sarees, from Festive Red to Evening Wine

Red is the colour many of us reach for when the day matters: Karwa Chauth, Durga Puja, a wedding in the family, a farewell. Our red sarees run from bright classic red to deeper maroon and wine, in handwoven mul cotton and mul modal, printed pure chiffon, hand embroidered chiffon, tissue and handloom linen. Below you will find each of our red sarees, how red and maroon differ, which blouse to pair, and how to look after them.

Red Sarees in Cotton, Chiffon and Linen

Red with zari: Manjari is a red striped mul cotton saree with zari at ₹2,299. It is light and soft, so it carries you through a long puja day or a Karwa Chauth evening. It comes without a blouse piece and, because of the zari, should be dry cleaned. More festive pieces sit in our zari sarees.

Red cotton for every day: Crimson Charm is a red polka dot mul cotton with hand block printed dots at ₹2,299; it comes without a blouse piece and takes a gentle cold hand wash. True Garnet is a plain maroon red mul modal at ₹1,899 with a 1 m running blouse piece, soft enough for daily wear and the office, and it takes a gentle cold hand wash too. Both are handwoven. See our polka dot sarees and plain sarees for other colours.

Red for parties: Amélie is a red floral printed pure chiffon, light and fluid, for parties, farewells and Karwa Chauth evenings. Ruby is red and gold pure chiffon with hand embroidered gold sequin florals, our dressiest red, for receptions, weddings and festive nights. Both come with a 1 m crepe blouse piece and should be dry cleaned. For a woven alternative, Reigning Queen is a red tissue saree for receptions and weddings; dry clean it too. See our party wear sarees and reception sarees for more.

Red in a check: Corner Office is a multicolour checked pure handloom linen in red and blue at ₹4,499, with a 1 m blouse piece. Linen is crisp and holds its shape, so it suits office and formal days when solid bright red would feel like too much. Dry clean it. For a lighter, everyday check, Poppy Seed is a red gingham mul cotton at ₹2,199, without a blouse piece, that takes a gentle cold hand wash. More patterns are in our checked sarees.

Maroon and Wine Sarees

Maroon and wine are red with depth: less bright, a little more formal, and richest under evening light. In many families maroon sits beside red for Karwa Chauth and festive pujas, and it is easier to wear again to a dinner or a reception.

Vintage Wine is a maroon and red floral printed chiffon with hand embroidery at ₹3,499, with a 1 m crepe blouse piece. It suits cocktail evenings, receptions, weddings and Karwa Chauth. Main Event is a maroon red pure handloom linen with a zari border at ₹4,499, with a 1 m blouse piece: crisp enough for the office and dressy enough for Durga Puja or a wedding day function. Dry clean both.

After Hours is a wine red pure handloom linen with a zari border at ₹4,499, for evening functions and festive days. In mul modal, True Garnet is plain maroon red and Regal Pin Drop is a maroon red polka dot modal cotton saree, both easy to wear to the office or a puja.

Antique gold jewellery suits maroon well. See our hand embroidered chiffon sarees for more evening colours.

How to Style a Red Saree

Start with the blouse. A gold or tonal blouse keeps red traditional; a black, green or pink blouse makes the same saree look modern. Maroon and wine take the same pairings, a shade deeper.

Blouse colour The effect Works best for
Gold or zari Classic and festive; echoes zari and gold sequins Karwa Chauth, Durga Puja, weddings
Ivory or cream Soft and traditional Day functions, pujas
Black Modern, high contrast Parties, farewells, cocktail evenings
Deep green or emerald Bold festive contrast Diwali, festive evenings
Red or maroon Tonal, long unbroken line Receptions, office, maroon sarees
Pink or mustard Bright and warm Haldi kunku, parties, maroon and wine sarees

Jewellery: follow the metal already in the saree: gold with the zari in Manjari and Main Event and with the gold sequins on Ruby. With printed Amélie and Vintage Wine, keep the neckline simple and let earrings do the work.

Occasions: for Karwa Chauth, red and maroon are the colours many women choose first; read our Karwa Chauth saree guide. For Durga Puja, red with zari or a red and white look is a favourite in many Bengali families; our Durga Puja saree guide has more. Red is a bridal colour in many families, so as a wedding guest you may prefer a printed red such as Amélie or a deeper wine. For work, True Garnet in mul modal is easy for every day, and Corner Office or Main Event in linen keeps red polished; see our office wear sarees.

Red and White

A white saree with a red border is a classic combination, worn in many Bengali families for Durga Puja and in many homes for pujas and festivals. Kamakshi is white mul cotton with a red border and a gold zari edge at ₹1,799; dry clean it because of the zari. Devi is white mul cotton with gold and red detailing at ₹1,999 and takes a gentle cold hand wash, and Mohe Rang de is a red and white mul cotton saree. These come without a blouse piece. See our white sarees and Durga Puja sarees for more.

Fabric, Blouse Piece and Care

Every MAYIN saree is 5.5 m long and 45 inches wide. Our chiffon sarees (Amélie, Ruby and Vintage Wine) come with a 1 m crepe blouse piece, handloom linen (Corner Office, Main Event and After Hours) with a 1 m blouse piece, mul modal such as True Garnet with a 1 m running blouse piece, and mul cotton such as Manjari, Crimson Charm, Poppy Seed, Kamakshi and Devi comes without one.

Chiffon is light and semi-sheer, so wear a petticoat under it: match it to the saree where you can, and if you have no match, nude usually shows less than white. Hand wash Crimson Charm, Poppy Seed, True Garnet and Devi gently in cold water, separately for the first few washes, and dry them in the shade, because strong sun dulls red. Dry clean anything with zari, such as Manjari, Kamakshi and Main Event, and all chiffon, tissue, embroidered, sequin and linen sarees. Our guide to washing cotton, chiffon and linen sarees covers each fabric step by step.
