Silkmark Tussar Glowing Madhubani Biege & Yellow Saree

What is on the pallu?

The pallu is printed with ringed medallions and village scenes in blue, red and black. The body is beige with tiny, sparse butis, and a wide mustard-orange border with a striped inner edge runs along it. The warm border gives the light beige a golden frame.

What blouse goes with beige and mustard?

The attached pallu-coloured blouse keeps it soft and matched. For contrast, a mustard blouse picks up the border, while maroon or navy adds depth. Gold jewellery suits the warm palette.

Is tussar comfortable for long hours?

Tussar is a natural silk from the cocoons of wild silkworms, prized for its rich texture, and this saree has a gentle slub surface. For a long day at the office or an office party, set the pleats neatly with a pin, and a cotton lining in the blouse adds comfort.

Is the tussar pure silk?

Yes. The fabric is Silkmark-certified tussar, which means the Silk Mark Organisation of India has verified its authenticity and purity. Tussar comes from the cocoons of wild silkworms and is prized for its rich texture, and on this saree you can see a gentle slub across the surface.

Is it a digital print made to look handmade?

No. It is a hand block print: carved wooden blocks stamped onto the fabric by hand. A digital print is perfectly uniform; hand block printing leaves small, honest variations in colour depth and alignment that you can see when you look closely. Those variations are part of what you are buying.

Will the print fade over time?

With dry cleaning and shade, the print holds up well. Sunlight and moisture are what dull printed silk, so store it away from windows, air it in the shade rather than direct sun, and avoid home washing. Changing the folds also stops colour wearing along the same creases.
