Silkmark Tussar Lucid Blockprint Maroon & Black Saree

What motifs are on the Lucid saree?

Outlined red-maroon leaf motifs are printed across a beige pallu, with a red zigzag temple-edge border, next to a body of black stripes with touches of grey. The beige pallu lightens the dark stripes and keeps the look muted rather than heavy.

Which jewellery suits maroon leaves and charcoal stripes?

Antique gold or kundan suits the maroon, while oxidised silver picks up the charcoal. Pearls soften the look for daytime. A maroon blouse is classic; a charcoal one is more modern.

Will the block-print colours run?

The safest way to keep the colours as they are is dry cleaning 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.

Are no two pieces exactly the same?

Each one carries its own small differences. The print is stamped by hand with carved blocks, so pressure, alignment and dye depth shift slightly from piece to piece. These minor irregularities are the uniqueness of handcrafted work, and worth looking for rather than worrying about.

Will my saree look exactly as it does online?

Very close, with two caveats. Colours can look slightly different on different screens, and because the print is stamped by hand, small variations between pieces are natural. The design and colourway stay the same; minor details of the print may differ a little.
