Silkmark Tussar Hypnotic Blockprint Maroon & Beige Saree

Does maroon with beige look rich?

It does. Maroon is a deep, wine-like red that carries a sense of occasion, and the cream pallu with its maroon and green floral vines keeps the overall look light. The two together feel classic and dignified, and suit women who like deep colour without brightness.

What jewellery suits maroon and beige?

Antique gold and kundan look especially good against maroon. Pearls soften the look for daytime, and oxidised silver gives it a more crafted, earthy feel. A small maroon bindi or a deep lip ties the face to the saree.

When would the Hypnotic saree work best?

It leads as office wear, where maroon and beige look composed and grown-up. The same deep tones suit evening dinners and kitty brunches, and with gold jewellery and an open pallu it fits festive gatherings comfortably.

Will the block-print colours run?

The safest way to keep the colours as they are is to dry clean only. Block printing is a hand process with dyes stamped on by hand, so don't soak, scrub or machine-wash it. If it gets caught in rain, dry it flat in the shade, away from the sun.

Is the length enough for different draping styles?

At 6.3 to 6.4 metres, there's room for the usual Nivi drape with full pleats and either an open or a pleated pallu. The unstitched blouse piece comes attached, so have it detached before you start draping.

Where does the saree come from?

Its hub is Bhagalpur. The fabric is Silkmark certified tussar silk, also known as Kosa silk, which comes from the cocoons of wild silkworms and is valued for its rich texture and natural sheen. The block printing is done by hand, so small irregularities are part of each piece's charm.
