Mridini Silkmark Tussar Silk Embroidery Saree Bold Red

How do I style this red saree?

The matching blouse piece keeps the look coordinated; add antique gold or kundan jewellery and it's festival-ready. For a sharper twist, try a black blouse that picks up the black embroidery on the border and pallu. Warm metals like antique gold sit well against the brick red.

Will the red look too loud for the office?

Kept simple, no. The body is a plain brick red, and the black embroidery stays on the border and pallu, so it reads polished rather than loud. Wear it with the matching blouse, small studs and a neat bun, and save the statement jewellery for an evening dinner.

What comes with the saree?

The saree, about 5.5 to 5.6 metres long, and a matching blouse piece of 80 cm. The blouse you see on the model was styled for the photoshoot and isn't part of the package; you receive the blouse fabric to have stitched to your own design and measurements.

Is the Mridini handwoven?

Yes. It is a Silkmark tussar silk handloom saree, so the base fabric is woven on a hand-operated loom before the embroidery is added. That is why you may notice slight irregularities in the texture; they are the sign of a handcrafted piece rather than a flaw.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only, to protect both the silk and the embroidery. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds and air it regularly so creases don't set, and if it ever needs drying, do it in the shade. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long hours.
