Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Resplendent Pink Saree

What shade of pink is it?

It is a rose pink with a bright sheen. The ghicha slubs add fine lines of lighter tone across the fabric. Screens vary, so expect a slight difference in person.

How does the ghicha texture show?

Horizontal slubs run through the fabric, with streaks where the yarn is thicker. Combined with tussar's natural lustre, they give the saree a soft shimmer that shows best when it hangs or drapes.

What blouse would you pair with rose pink?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour. For contrast, navy, deep green, black or silver all look good with rose pink. Silver jewellery keeps it cool and modern.

Is it Silkmark certified?

Yes. The fabric is Silkmark certified ghicha tussar silk, certified as genuine silk under the Silk Mark Organisation of India. The textured feel comes from ghicha spinning, which uses the shorter tussar fibres, so it is silk through and through, with a natural sheen.

How long is the saree?

It is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long, including the attached blouse piece. The blouse piece comes in the pallu colour at one end; cut it off before tailoring, and the rest gives ample length for pleats and a full pallu.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place and refold it regularly. Air it on dry days and keep it out of strong sunlight so the hand-dyed pink stays fresh.
