Silkmark Tussar Lucid Blockprint Blue & Pink Saree

Is blue with pink a soft or a striking combination?

It leans fresh and youthful. Pink adds warmth and blue cools it down, so the pairing feels lively without being heavy. Against the textured tussar base, the hand-stamped colours look crafted rather than glossy, which keeps the Lucid saree refined.

What jewellery goes with the Lucid saree?

Silver and pearls suit the cool blue, while rose gold or soft gold picks up the pink. For daytime, a single strand of pearls and small studs is enough. For a festive day, oxidised silver jhumkas give the blue and pink a little more edge without competing with the print.

Can I wash it at home?

We'd advise against it. The care instruction is dry clean only, which is the safest way to look after both the tussar silk and the block-printed colours. Between cleanings, airing the saree in the shade after you wear it is usually enough to keep it fresh.

How long is the saree?

The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, and the blouse piece comes attached to it. That is a comfortable length for a regular Nivi drape with full pleats and a pallu over the shoulder. Detach the blouse piece before you drape it.

How do I know the silk is genuine?

The saree is Silkmark certified. Silkmark is run by the Silk Mark Organisation of India, and the label confirms that the fabric is authentic, pure silk that meets its quality standards. It is the simplest assurance a buyer has when shopping for silk without touching it first.

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.

How is hand block printing done?

A design is carved into a wooden or metal block, the block is dipped in dye, and the printer presses it onto the fabric by hand, repeat after repeat. The finished print carries a slight, charming unevenness that sets it apart from a machine print.
