Glossy Eri Tussar Silk Embroidered Black Saree

What does the embroidery look like?

Small cream leaf vines are embroidered across the black body, with slim leaves along each stem. Cream on black reads crisp and graphic, so the saree looks modern and striking, and the soft slub texture of the Eri silk keeps the black from looking flat.

What is the pallu like?

The pallu is striped in broad bands of bronze and black, with touches of gold, and finished with tassels at the end. The warm bronze softens the black-and-cream body and adds a gentle glow under evening lights.

Where can I wear it?

Festive evenings come first, where black with bronze looks rich. It also suits an office party, an evening dinner and a kitty party, and is smart enough for office wear with a plain blouse.

Which blouse would you suggest?

A black blouse keeps it sleek. A cream blouse echoes the vines for a graphic look, and a copper or bronze blouse picks up the pallu for festive wear. Silver jewellery suits the cream embroidery.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes, a blouse piece in the pallu colour comes attached. The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres including it. Your tailor cuts it off along the end before stitching, and a simple cut lets the embroidered body stay the focus.

How do I care for black silk?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate cloth bag away from damp, change the folds regularly so it doesn't hold a crease in one place, and dry it in the shade if it ever gets damp. Air it in dry conditions now and then.
