Stunning Eri Tussar Silk Embroidered Purple Saree

What is embroidered on the saree?

Trailing leaf vines in magenta and teal are embroidered across the periwinkle-blue body. The motifs are small and open, so the ground colour stays the main feature, and the slub texture of the eri silk shows between the vines.

What does the pallu look like?

The pallu is striped in gold and grey and finished with tassels. The gold adds a festive shimmer to the end of the drape, while the grey keeps it cool and in tune with the periwinkle-blue body.

What is eri silk?

Eri silk comes from the eri silkworm and is harvested after the moth leaves the cocoon, which is why it is called ahimsa or peace silk. It is soft, with natural warmth.

Which blouse would you pair?

A magenta blouse picks up the embroidered leaves, and a teal one echoes the vines. A gold blouse is festive, and a grey or silver blouse looks sleek for office days. Silver or pearl jewellery suits the soft palette of this saree.

Is blouse fabric part of the package?

Yes, a blouse piece in the pallu colour comes attached. The total length is 6.3 to 6.4 metres. Separate it carefully along the end before stitching, and keep the tassels on the pallu intact.

How do I store eri silk?

Keep it in a separate cloth bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly, and air it out in dry weather. Dry clean only, and keep it away from damp and strong sunlight.
