Silkmark Tussar Tranquil Blockprint Biege & Blue Saree

What mood does cream with blue create?

Calm and fresh. The body is a plain cream, and the royal-blue pallu with white medallion bands adds a cool, crisp note, finished with a blue zigzag temple edge. It is a soft, composed combination that looks easy in daylight and never feels heavy.

Which jewellery and blouse suit the Tranquil saree?

Silver and pearls sit beautifully with the blue, and oxidised silver adds a handcrafted touch. For blouses, navy or indigo gives depth, while white or cream keeps it airy. If you prefer gold, choose matte antique gold over bright yellow gold so it doesn't overpower the soft palette.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. An unstitched tussar silk blouse piece comes attached to the saree, in the same colour as the pallu. Have your tailor detach it from the saree and cut it to your measurements, so the neckline, sleeves and fit are entirely your choice.

Any dos and don'ts for keeping it looking new?

Do dry clean it, store it in its own bag somewhere dry, and air it regularly in dry air. Don't wash it at home, don't dry it in direct sunlight, and don't leave it on the same fold for long. These small habits keep the silk's sheen and the print looking fresh.

Why does the Silkmark label matter?

Because silk is hard to judge on a screen. The Silkmark label, issued under the Silk Mark Organisation of India, certifies that the fabric is genuine silk and meets their quality standards. With this saree the tussar is certified, so you know the price is for real silk.

Why does the fabric feel slightly textured?

It is Ghicha tussar. The yarn is spun from the shorter tussar fibres left over in silk production, which gives a slightly coarser, more textured hand than regular tussar. That texture is part of its character, and the fabric still carries tussar's natural sheen.

Is the print done by hand?

Yes, it is hand block printed. Carved blocks are dipped in dye and stamped onto the tussar by hand, one impression at a time. That is why you may see tiny shifts in alignment or depth of colour from one repeat to the next: the mark of hand work rather than a machine print.
