Silkmark Certified Pure Tussar Cutwork Brown & Green Saree

How do the brown and green work together?

The body is a warm golden-tan tussar, and the border is a wide band of floral and leaf openwork cutwork edged in emerald green, with the emerald reverse showing through the open work. It is a bold, earthy pairing.

What is the blouse colour?

The blouse piece comes attached and is in the pallu colour, and the pallu carries the same look as the body. The saree is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long. For contrast, an emerald green blouse picks up the green edging of the cutwork border and ties the look together.

How is the cutwork done?

The artisan cuts sections of fabric away by hand to form the pattern, leaving a delicate, lace-like design. On this saree the cut shapes are large floral and leaf forms running along a wide border, so the effect is dramatic.

Is it pure silk?

Yes. It is Silkmark certified pure tussar silk, from the cocoons of wild silkworms. Tussar is prized for its rich texture and natural sheen, and the Silkmark from the Silk Mark Organisation of India assures the authenticity and purity of the silk.

How should I store it?

In its own bag, in a dry place, with the folds changed regularly and the saree aired in dry conditions. It is dry clean only. Fold the cutwork border loosely so the open areas are not crushed or creased sharply.
