Silkmark Certified Banarasi Muga Tussar Navy Blue Pink Saree

Where does the pink come in?

The body is a deep, bright blue, and the pink comes through in the woven motifs and the zari of the border and pallu, which carry a soft pinkish-copper tone. The result is blue as the main colour with a warm glow along the edges rather than two equal blocks of colour.

What are the motifs like?

The body carries large, round butis spaced evenly across the drape, woven in the same pink-toned zari. They are bold enough to show from a distance, and they continue into a broad, densely patterned pallu.

Which occasions is it best for?

Weddings and receptions first, where the strong navy, pink and zari stand out whether you are family or a guest. It also suits festivals, an engagement or roka, and a temple visit or puja. With gold jewellery and a contrast blouse, it looks properly dressed for any of these.

Is it genuine silk?

Yes. The saree is Silkmark certified, which means the Silk Mark Organisation of India has confirmed it is made of genuine silk. The base is Muga Tussar silk, woven with Banarasi brocade and hand dyed.

What is the length, and does the blouse come with it?

The saree measures 6.3-6.4 metres including an attached blouse piece. You receive one saree with its blouse, ready to be cut off and tailored to your own style, whether a simple round neck for the office or something more dressed up.

How should I store it between wears?

Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly and air it in non-humid conditions from time to time. It is dry clean only; if it ever needs drying, dry it in shade.
