Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Silk Yellow & Blue Saree

How does the contrast pallu come in?

The mustard body does not switch abruptly to the navy pallu. The colour passes through a band of green first, so the change looks gradual, and gold stripes cross the pallu itself. It is a hand-dyed contrast that feels blended rather than cut.

What are the tassels like?

The pallu ends in tassels in yellow and navy, picking up both colours of the saree. They add a little movement when the pallu is left open and finish the end neatly when it is pleated.

What is Ghicha Tussar silk?

Tussar, also called Kosa, comes from the cocoons of wild silkworms and has a rich texture and natural sheen. Ghicha is spun from the shorter fibres left over in Tussar production, which gives a slightly coarser, more textured surface than regular Tussar.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A blouse piece in the pallu colour comes attached to the saree, so you can have it tailored to your own fit and neckline. Separate it from the saree before you go to your tailor, and a simple cut lets the mustard body and contrast pallu stand out.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place and change the folds from time to time so the creases do not set. Let it air in dry weather now and then, and dry it in the shade if needed.

Will the colours vary from the pictures?

Slightly, possibly. The saree is hand dyed, so the mustard, green and navy can shift a little in tone, and the blend between them may sit at a slightly different point. Screens also show colour differently.
