Silkmark Tussar Quaint Blockprint Green Saree

Is this saree only green?

No. The body is striped in raspberry-maroon and white, and the green comes in on the pallu, which is printed with large florals and birds in mustard, cream and rust. A narrow pale pink border with a printed band edges it. Green and maroon together make an earthy, traditional pairing.

What jewellery suits green with maroon?

Antique gold or temple jewellery is the classic choice and brings out both colours. Kundan studs add a festive touch. For a lighter look, a simple gold chain and small jhumkas keep the focus on the block print.

Can I get the blouse stitched in my own style?

Yes. The blouse piece reaches you unstitched and attached to the saree, in the pallu's colour, so any neckline, sleeve length or back design is possible. Many women keep the cut simple and let the block print do the talking, but a deeper back or elbow sleeves suit it too.

Can I keep it with my other silk sarees?

Yes, but give it its own bag rather than stacking it bare against other sarees. Keep the cupboard dry, and take it out now and then to air and refold it. A separate bag also keeps the printed surface from rubbing against zari or embellished pieces.

What comes in the package?

One saree with its blouse piece attached. The saree is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long, and the blouse piece is in the pallu's colour, unstitched and ready for your tailor. Beyond a petticoat and your stitched blouse, you don't need anything else to wear it.

How do I know the silk is genuine?

The saree is Silkmark certified. Silkmark is run by the Silk Mark Organisation of India, and the label confirms that the fabric is authentic, pure silk that meets its quality standards. It is the simplest assurance a buyer has when shopping for silk without touching it first.
