Silkmark Muga Tussar Silk White Saree

Is the white a pure white or an off-white?

It reads as a soft white with a natural silk sheen. The wide border is a pale gold band with fine stripes, and fine pale-gold stripes run across the tasselled pallu, so the whole saree looks gentle rather than stark.

How can I style this Muga saree for a puja?

A red, maroon or mustard blouse gives it the classic festive white-and-colour look, and gold jewellery picks up the border. A red bindi and flowers in the hair complete it. For office wear, keep the blouse in gold or ivory.

Will white silk show stains or yellow over time?

Light silks show marks more readily, so treat spills quickly by dabbing, not rubbing, and have it professionally dry cleaned. Store it clean, in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then and air it in dry, non-moist air.

What does Silkmark certification tell me?

It confirms the saree is made of genuine Muga silk, verified by the Silk Mark Organisation of India. Muga comes from the cocoons of the Antheraea assamensis silkworm, found mainly in Assam, and is valued for its glossy texture and durability.

What is hand dyeing?

The work on this saree is hand dyeing, meaning the colour is applied by hand rather than by an industrial process. Small variations in tone from piece to piece are normal and part of the handcrafted character.

Is the blouse included?

Yes, a blouse piece in the pallu colour is attached to the saree. The full length is 6.3 to 6.4 metres, and your tailor cuts the blouse from the end.
