Silkmark Tussar Quaint Madhubani Red & Beige Saree

How does it look when draped?

Draped, it shows a plain red body in the pleats and a grey-beige pallu printed with two large standing figures, with wide mustard borders carrying strips of smaller figures. The mustard and red together give it a warm, festive glow.

Does the red need special care?

Strong reds stay rich with a little care. Dry clean only, dry and air it in the shade, and keep it away from long sun exposure, which dulls printed colour. Store it in a breathable cotton bag, apart from lighter sarees, and refold it now and then.

Can I get the blouse stitched from the fabric provided?

Yes. The attached blouse piece is tussar silk in the pallu colour, ready for your tailor to cut and stitch. Ask for a soft lining so the inside sits comfortably against the skin, and settle the neckline before cutting.

Is there enough length for pleats and a full pallu?

Yes. At 6.3 to 6.4 metres, with the blouse piece attached, it gives you room for neat pleats at the front and a pallu that falls to a good length behind. That matters on a printed pallu, because you want the art to hang open rather than be tucked away.

How is the Madhubani design made?

It is a hand block print: artisans carve wooden blocks with Madhubani-inspired designs and stamp them onto the tussar silk. Madhubani motifs often depict scenes from nature, mythology or everyday life, and here they appear as two large standing figures on the pallu with figure strips along the borders.

Where is it made?

It comes from our Bhagalpur hub, where it is hand block printed on Silkmark certified tussar silk. Because every impression is stamped by hand, minor irregularities in the print are part of what makes each piece unique.
