Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Classy Black & Red Saree

What is the border like?

A woven-look border in gold and grey runs along the deep charcoal body. It is quiet but defined, and it gives the dark saree a fine outline at the hem and along the pleats without adding any heaviness.

How does the red pallu work with the body?

The pallu is a plain block of bright red, not striped, so it reads as a clean, strong contrast against the charcoal. Charcoal and red is a classic pairing, and keeping the pallu plain makes it look sharp and modern.

Where can I wear it?

It is first an office saree, the dark body keeping it composed for work. It also goes well to an evening dinner, a temple or puja visit, and festive occasions, where the red pallu comes forward.

What is Ghicha Tussar?

Tussar, or Kosa, is a wild silk from the cocoons of wild silkworms. Ghicha is spun from the short fibres left after Tussar production, so it has a slightly coarser texture than regular Tussar and a natural, earthy look. This one has a soft sheen on the surface too.

How should I look after it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, away from your other sarees. Refold it from time to time so the creases do not set, air it in dry weather, and dry it in the shade if needed.

What length is it?

The saree is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long. That is enough for comfortable pleats and a full pallu, so the red end has room to fall well over the shoulder.
