Silkmark Pure Tussar Embroidery & Cutwork Gray Saree

What is the embroidery like on this saree?

Large pink flowers on green vines are embroidered over cutwork on the pallu, and a wide floral cutwork border carries the same pink and green flowers along the edge. Against the silver-grey plain body, the pink embroidery gives the saree its colour.

What is Silkmark certification?

Silkmark is a quality label from the Silk Mark Organisation of India that confirms the silk is genuine. On this saree it verifies the fabric is pure Tussar silk, not a blend or an artificial silk made to look like Tussar.

Is the cutwork handmade?

Yes. The cutwork is done by hand, with the fabric carefully cut away to form a lace-like pattern around the embroidery. Small irregularities are a natural part of handcrafted work, and they make each piece unique.

Can I style it for a festival?

Yes. Pick a blouse in rani pink to echo the embroidered flowers, or wear the attached pallu-colour blouse with gold jewellery. The silvery Tussar looks modern, and the pink florals keep it festive.

What care does it need?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place, refold it from time to time, and air it in non-humid weather. Keep perfume sprays away from the fabric, since they can mark Tussar.
