Beaming Eri Tussar Silk Embroidered Beige Saree

What shade is this saree?

It is a warm taupe, close to greige, with a soft natural sheen. Small blush-pink leaf motifs are embroidered across the body, giving gentle touches of colour against the muted ground, and a wide pallu in gold and taupe stripes adds warmth at the end of the drape.

How does the pallu look on taupe?

The pallu is laid in wide bands of gold alternating with taupe stripes, so it catches the light softly. The gold lifts the muted taupe of the body, which keeps the saree from looking flat and gives it a dressier finish for evenings and festive days.

Is taupe too plain for a festive day?

Not with the right styling. The gold pallu and pink leaves give it enough life, and a gold or rani pink blouse with statement earrings makes it festive. Kept simple, the same saree looks refined at work.

What blouse goes with taupe and pink?

A rose pink blouse picks up the leaves and brightens the taupe. A gold or champagne blouse looks dressy, and a black blouse gives it a modern edge for evenings. Pearl jewellery suits the soft palette.

What does the Silkmark label tell me?

Silkmark is the quality label of the Silk Mark Organisation of India for products made of genuine natural silk. On this saree it confirms that the fabric is real eri silk, not a blend sold as silk.

How should I look after it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own cloth bag in a dry place, change the folds from time to time so the creases do not set, and air it out in dry weather. If it gets damp, dry it in the shade.
