Silkmark Certified Dreamy Pure Tussar Cutwork Red Saree

What is on the border?

The crimson red body is plain, and a wide border of multicoloured floral embroidery, with flowers and birds and touches of teal and gold, runs along the pleats and across the pallu, alongside the hand cutwork. It reads red from a distance and bright and detailed up close.

Where would I wear it?

It is made for festive occasions, and the colourful border works well at a wedding or reception as a guest. It also suits a temple visit or puja, office parties, dinners and festive days at work.

What blouse would suit it?

The attached blouse piece comes in the pallu colour. For contrast, a teal blouse picks up the teal in the border and looks fresh against the red; gold draws out the metallic touches, and a plain red blouse keeps the attention on the border.

What is Tussar silk?

Tussar, or Kosa, silk comes from wild silkworm cocoons and has a rich texture and natural sheen. This saree is Silkmark certified as pure Tussar. On the red body, that sheen shows as a gentle glow rather than a hard shine.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly and air it in non-humid conditions, drying it in shade if ever needed.
