Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Thoughtful Beige Saree

Is beige ghicha good for office wear?

Very much so. Beige is a calm neutral, and the slubbed ghicha texture gives it quiet interest. It works with almost any blouse, which makes it an easy saree to reach for on work days.

What gives this saree its stripy look?

The faint horizontal streaks are tonal, part of the slubbed texture of the hand-dyed ghicha fabric. On a light beige base they show as soft lines across the saree, giving it a natural, handmade character.

What blouse colours suit beige?

A 0.80 metre blouse piece is included. Beige takes almost any contrast: black, maroon, emerald, navy or a printed blouse all work. A black embroidered blouse gives a bold, graphic look.

Is it silk or cotton?

It is silk. The fabric is Silkmark certified ghicha tussar, spun from the leftover short fibres of tussar silk production. That gives it a slightly coarse, textured hand, but it is pure silk.

How long is the saree?

The saree is 5.4 to 5.5 metres long, with a 0.80 metre blouse piece. The blouse piece is unstitched. That leaves you free to choose the neckline and sleeves you like.

How should I store it?

Fold it in a breathable cotton bag and keep it in a dry place. Change the folds regularly and air it in dry weather. It is dry clean only.
