Silkmark Muga Tussar Silk Printed Red Saree

What is the print like?

The red body carries small floral and geometric prints arranged in bands, with touches of mustard, orange and black. A wide dark maroon border with fine stripes runs along the edge and frames the busy print, and the pallu ends in orange-and-maroon tassels.

How does the wine border change the look?

The deep wine border is darker than the red body, so it gives the print a firm edge and makes the saree look richer and more finished. It also gives you an easy blouse colour to work with.

Is it hand block printed?

Yes. The design is hand block printed on Silkmark certified Muga silk: carved blocks are dipped in dye and stamped onto the cloth, repeat after repeat. That is why the small floral motifs sit in neat rows, and why you may notice slight differences from one repeat to the next, which are part of the handwork rather than faults.

Which blouse comes with it?

The saree is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long and comes with an attached blouse piece in the pallu colour. A wine or maroon blouse echoes the border, while a gold blouse makes it more festive for an evening.

Is it suitable for the office?

Yes, office wear is where it fits best. The small-scale print reads neat from a distance, Muga silk is durable for regular wear, and with simple jewellery it looks polished rather than festive.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly, and air it in dry weather. Dry it in the shade if it gets damp, since strong sun can fade printed colours.
