Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Beautiful Red Saree

What shade is it?

It is a bold raspberry red, a mid shade that leans slightly pink. Fine tonal streaks run through the body, and the ghicha tussar has a slub texture with a natural sheen, so the colour has depth rather than looking flat.

What makes the surface textured?

It is Ghicha tussar. The yarn is spun from the shorter fibres left over from tussar silk production, which gives a slightly coarser texture than regular tussar. You can see it as a gentle slub and fine tonal streaks across the plain body.

What blouse goes with it?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour. For contrast, gold brocade, green or navy all suit it. A red bangle stack and gold earrings give a classic look.

Is the blouse piece included?

Yes, a blouse piece in the pallu colour comes attached to the saree, which is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long. Cut it off along the end before tailoring; it comes unstitched, so you can have it stitched to your fit.

How should I store it?

Fold it in a cotton bag and keep it in a dry place. Change the folds regularly and air it on dry days. It is dry clean only.
