Silkmark Certified Lucid Pure Tussar Cutwork Pink Saree

What does the cutwork look like?

The rosy pink body is plain tussar, and a narrow floral cutwork border runs along the edges, outlined in dark brown thread. The dark outlines make the small floral pattern crisp against the soft pink.

Is the blouse piece pink too?

No. It comes with a contrast blouse piece, which looks sage green, and the saree itself measures 5.5-5.6 metres. The sage sets off the rosy pink softly; if you want a different look, a dark brown blouse would echo the thread outlining the cutwork border.

How is hand cutwork made?

Artisans carefully cut sections out of the fabric with scissors or other fine tools, leaving behind a delicate lace-like pattern. On this saree it forms a narrow floral border outlined in dark thread, which adds texture and detail against the plain rosy pink body.

Is it genuine silk?

Yes. The saree is Silkmark certified, meaning the Silk Mark Organisation of India has confirmed it is pure Tussar silk. Tussar comes from wild silkworm cocoons and has a soft sheen with a slightly textured surface, both of which show clearly on the pink body.

How do I store it?

Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then, and let it air in dry conditions. It is dry clean only. Folding the cutwork border loosely helps it keep its shape.
