Cotton Saree

Mul Cotton and Mulmul Cotton Sarees

A mul cotton saree, also called mulmul, is made from very soft and fine cotton that feels light on hot days. Mulmul cotton sarees drape easily and are perfect for long working hours. Pure cotton sarees are breathable and get softer with every wash.

Checks, Suti and Formal Sarees

Checks sarees in cotton, like Chettinad cotton sarees, are a classic South Indian style. Suti (cotton) sarees in stripes and small prints look formal and neat, so many teachers and working women keep a few for the week. For textured weaves, see handloom sarees and linen sarees.
