Silkmark Certified Bright Pure Tussar Cutwork Blue Saree

What is the design on this saree?

The bright blue body has a wide band of dark round floral medallions set in dotted lattice cutwork along the border, and a contrasting navy section is visible where the saree is folded back. The two blues feel rich and smart together.

What colour is the blouse?

The blouse piece is attached and comes in the pallu colour, within a total length of 6.3-6.4 metres. Cut it off and have it tailored. If you want contrast, a navy blouse echoes the section that shows where the saree folds back, and a plain neckline keeps the medallion border as the focus.

What does Silkmark certification tell me?

That the saree is genuine silk. The Silk Mark Organisation of India certifies it as pure Tussar, guaranteeing the authenticity and purity of the fibre. On a saree at this price, the label is your assurance that you are getting Tussar and not a blend.

How is cutwork made by hand?

The artisan cuts sections out of the fabric with scissors or fine tools, following the drawn design, and leaves a lace-like pattern behind. Here the ground around each round medallion is cut into small dots, so the medallions sit in an open, airy band along the border.

Is it delicate?

The cutwork areas need gentle handling, since open work can catch on jewellery or rough surfaces. Dry clean only, and store it folded loosely in its own bag in a dry place. Change the folds now and then and dry it in the shade.
