Silkmark Certified Banarasi Muga Tussar Tusk Green Saree

What shade of green is it?

It is a soft, pale green, close to pistachio, rather than a strong green. The light ground lets the small pink and yellow flower buti and the copper-rose zari work show clearly, which makes it a gentle, fresh choice for daytime functions.

What does the pallu look like?

The pallu is the most worked part of the saree: a copper-rose woven panel that stands out against the pale green body. A wide copper-rose patterned border runs along the edge, and the body carries pink and yellow flower buti on small stems, so the pallu feels like a richer finish to the same design.

What does hand dyeing mean for this saree?

The colour is applied by hand rather than by machine, so the shade can vary slightly from one piece to another. On a pale green like this the variation is subtle, but small differences in tone, along with minor irregularities in the weave, are part of a handcrafted saree.

What is Banarasi brocade weaving?

Banarasi brocade builds intricate patterns into the fabric on the loom, and it has long been a symbol of luxury in Indian textiles. Here that brocade technique is worked on a Silkmark certified Muga silk base, known for its lustrous texture and durability, so the pattern sits within the cloth itself.

Does it come with a blouse?

Yes, an attached blouse piece is included. The saree measures 6.3-6.4 metres in total with the blouse. Since the ground is pale, a blouse in rose pink or antique gold picks up the motifs nicely if you want to go beyond the attached piece.

How should it be cleaned?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place, refold it now and then and let it air in dry conditions. Pale silks show marks easily, so avoid perfume or sprays directly on the fabric and the zari.
