Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Intriguing Mustard & Blue Saree

How do the colours change from body to pallu?

The mustard body moves through a band of teal before it reaches the royal blue pallu, so the shift from warm to cool happens gradually. It is a hand-dyed transition, and it is what makes this colourway feel layered rather than simply two-tone.

What are the stripes on the pallu?

The royal blue pallu is banded with silver-gold stripes, which look cooler than plain gold and sit well on blue. The pallu then ends in yellow and navy tassels that echo both ends of the saree.

Is Ghicha comfortable over a long day?

Ghicha is a little coarser than regular Tussar because it is spun from the leftover short fibres, so it has more texture and body. Wearing it over a soft cotton petticoat with a well-fitted blouse helps the drape sit neatly through a long day.

Is the fabric genuine silk?

Yes. It is Silkmark certified Ghicha Tussar silk. The Silk Mark label is given by the Silk Mark Organisation of India to certify that a product is made of genuine silk.

How can I style the blouse?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour, so it ties in with the striped pallu end and frames the mustard body well. Silver or oxidised jewellery follows the silver-gold stripes; gold works if you want to lean into the mustard.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in its own bag in a dry spot, change the folds now and then so they do not set, and let it air occasionally in dry weather. If it needs drying, keep it in the shade.
