Pastoral Pure Eri Tussar Silk Brown Saree

What makes the pallu stand out?

Broad copper-gold bands fill the pallu, broken by narrow lines of pink and purple. Against the dusty plum-brown body the copper reads warm and rich, and the hem carries a wide band in the same tone. It is the heaviest-looking part of an otherwise plain saree.

Does it have tassels?

Yes, the pallu ends in tassels. They add a little movement when the pallu is left open and make a neat finishing detail if you pleat and pin it on the shoulder. Handle them gently while draping so the threads stay even.

Why is Eri known as Ahimsa silk?

With Eri, the silk is harvested after the moth has come out of the cocoon, so no silkworm is killed in the process. That is why it is called Ahimsa or peace silk, and why many buyers choose it as a gentler, more sustainable silk.

Is it suitable for warm weather?

Eri silk holds warmth and handles moisture well, so it is most comfortable in cooler months, in the evenings and in air-conditioned spaces. For a daytime function in warm weather, keep the blouse simple and the jewellery light so the look stays easy.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then, and air it in non-humid conditions so the copper bands do not crease hard along one line. If it needs drying, dry it in the shade.

What blouse styles suit it?

The blouse piece comes in the pallu colour. For a dressier look, a sweetheart neck or a deeper back with copper or antique gold jewellery works well with the bands. For something simpler, keep a high neck and let the pallu do the talking.
