Alluring Eri Tussar Silk Embroidered Green Saree

What does this saree look like?

It is a soft mint green, embroidered with fine cream leaf vines that trail across the body. The pale leaves sit gently on the mint, giving a fresh, light look, and the eri silk has a gentle slub texture.

What is special about the pallu?

The pallu has gold stripes alternating with light green ones, and a grey-blue band at the centre adds a cool note among the gold. With tassels as a finishing touch, it gives the drape more interest where it falls over the shoulder.

Is the mint suitable for daytime events?

Yes. Mint green with cream looks fresh in daylight, so it suits brunches, kitty lunches and festive mornings. It also works for office days and evening dinners with richer jewellery.

Which blouse would you pair?

A cream blouse matches the leaves and keeps it soft. A gold blouse is festive, and a peach or coral blouse adds warmth. Pearl or light gold jewellery suits the pastel.

What is eri silk?

Eri silk comes from the eri silkworm and is harvested after the moth emerges, which is why it is called ahimsa or peace silk. It has a soft feel and gentle natural warmth.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly, and air it in dry weather. Dry it in the shade if it gets damp.
