Alluring Pure Eri Tussar Silk Pink Saree

What is the pallu like?

The pallu is filled with broad copper-gold bands, edged in purple with a touch of orange, and it ends in tassels. A wide band in the same colours runs along the hem. Against the vivid fuchsia body the copper looks warm, so the whole saree reads rich rather than sharp.

Does the fabric have a shine?

It has a gentle sheen that shows most on the copper-gold bands and softly across the body as it moves. It is not a glassy shine, more the natural glow of silk with a little texture to it, which keeps the bright colour from looking flat.

What occasions does it suit?

Its first home is festive dressing, where the bright body and copper pallu feel right. It also works for the office with simple jewellery, for an evening dinner, and for a kitty party or brunch with friends.

What kind of blouse goes with it?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour, so it links back to the banded pallu end. A sleeveless or short-sleeve cut with a deeper neckline suits evenings, while a round neck with elbow sleeves keeps it neat for daytime.

How should I store and clean it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, away from your other sarees. Change the folds every so often and let it air in dry, non-humid weather so the creases do not set. Dry it in the shade if needed.

Is the colour as vivid in person?

It is a strong, bright fuchsia, though hand dyeing means the exact shade can shift a little between pieces, and every screen shows pinks slightly differently. Small variations in tone are part of the handmade process.
