The kuchu or pallu (the loose end of the saree) is your canvas for expression. For daily wear with gorgeous silk and pattu sarees, you don’t need heavy zari work; you need clever, simple designs that elevate the look without overpowering it.
Think minimalism and modern motifs:
The Thin Border Contrast: Instead of a broad, heavy zari border, a thin, contrasting-colored piping or a delicate pico edge running along the kuchu is incredibly chic. It frames the saree beautifully.
Discreet Butta Patterns: Small, scattered motifs (buttas) like miniature peacocks, leaves, or geometric shapes along one edge of the kuchu. It adds interest without the weight.
The Ombre Effect: A modern favorite! Dyers are creating beautiful, subtle ombre fades on the kuchu of solid-colored silk sarees, moving from a deep hue to a lighter shade. It’s artistic and deeply trendy.
A simple kuchu design ensures your beautiful silk fabric remains the star of the show, making your saree a versatile piece you’ll reach for again and again.
