Modal Sarees

Our Modal Natural Dye 3D Plain Sarees pair a soft, plain body with a rich contrast border and pallu. Each saree is made in pure modal, a plant-based fibre made from beechwood cellulose, and the body is coloured with natural dyes. The natural dye settles with gentle shifts in tone, and that tonal shading is what gives the plain body its 3D look. A white band leads into a contrast border and pallu woven with gold-tone zari motifs. Choose from olive green with wine, parrot green with dark green, rani pink with purple, and teal green with royal blue. Easy to style for office, day functions and festive gatherings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is modal fabric?

Modal is a plant-based fibre made from the cellulose of beech trees. The pulp is spun into a fine, smooth yarn, so modal is soft, breathable and drapes fluidly. It is not silk.

What does the 3D effect mean?

It refers to the tonal shading the natural dye creates in the plain body. The colour varies gently across the fabric, giving it a sense of depth.

Why are they called plain sarees if they have a border?

The body of each saree is plain, with no print or motifs. The design is concentrated in the contrast border and pallu.

Is the zari real gold?

No. The border and pallu have woven gold-tone zari, which is imitation zari, not real gold.

What is the length of these sarees?

Approx. 5.5 metres of saree plus an approx. 0.8 metre unstitched blouse piece, with a width of approx. 44 inches.

Are these sarees good for office wear?

Yes. Soft, breathable modal and a plain body make them comfortable and polished for a full workday, while the zari pallu adds a festive touch when you need it.

How do I care for these sarees?

Dry clean only. Store folded in a muslin or cotton cloth, away from direct sunlight, to protect the natural-dye colours.

Is shipping free?

Yes, Daaraa Silks offers free shipping across India.
