Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Masterful Pink & Black Saree

What does the pallu look like?

The pallu is wide, in a darker contrasting shade, and banded with broad gold stripes. Set against the soft pink body, the deeper end gives the saree a grounded finish and makes the gold stripes stand out clearly.

What kind of pink is the body?

It is a warm, peachy pink rather than a cool or candy shade. That warmth suits gold jewellery and most Indian skin tones. Being hand dyed, the exact shade can vary slightly from piece to piece.

Is it real silk?

Yes. The fabric is Silkmark certified Ghicha Tussar silk. Silk Mark is the certification of the Silk Mark Organisation of India, given to products made of genuine silk. The nubby Ghicha surface is part of its character.

Will the texture feel rough?

Ghicha has more texture than a smooth silk, because it is spun from the leftover short Tussar fibres and is slightly coarser than regular Tussar. The surface is nubby to the touch, and a soft cotton petticoat with a well-fitted blouse helps it sit neatly.

Where is it made?

It comes from our Bhagalpur hub, where it is hand dyed on Ghicha Tussar silk. Because the dyeing is done by hand, each saree has small variations of its own.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then so they do not set, and give it some dry air from time to time. Dry it in the shade if needed.
