Silkmark Tussar Ethereal Madhubani Biege & Blue Saree

What does the print show?

The beige tussar body carries sparse, tiny buti, and the pallu is heavily worked with concentric medallions, grid panels and small village scenes. Blue borders run along the edges, with touches of black, red and green, so the look stays light in the body and rich at the pallu.

What jewellery suits blue on beige?

Silver and oxidised jewellery complement blue and beige and give an artisanal look that suits a folk print. For festive occasions, antique gold adds warmth against the beige. Blue stone earrings or a blue potli pick up the border.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. The blouse fabric comes attached to the saree and is in the pallu colour, so it ties in with the most decorated end of the drape. Ask your tailor to cut it off from the saree before the first wear and stitch it to your measurements.

How do I know it is real tussar and not a blend?

The fabric is Silkmark certified, the purity standard run by the Silk Mark Organisation of India to guarantee genuine silk. Tussar comes from the cocoons of wild silkworms and is prized for its rich texture and natural sheen, both of which you will see in this saree.

How is the Madhubani print made?

Artisans carve wooden blocks with Madhubani-inspired designs and press them onto the tussar by hand. The print keeps the character of the folk art, with scenes drawn from nature, mythology and everyday life. As it is handcrafted, minor irregularities make each piece unique.

What care does it need after a long event?

Let it air for a few hours in the shade, away from direct sun, so any moisture evaporates before you fold it. Then fold it into a breathable cotton bag and store it on its own. When it needs cleaning, send it to a dry cleaner; it should not be washed at home.
