Elegant Eri Tussar Silk Embroidered Maroon Saree

What does the saree look like?

It is a deep wine maroon, embroidered with sprays of bright turquoise-blue flowers dotted with orange. The cool blue against the warm maroon is an unusual, eye-catching pairing, and the slub texture of the eri silk adds depth to the plain areas between the flowers.

How is the pallu finished?

Broad gold bands alternate with maroon stripes across the pallu. The gold warms the deep wine and gives the end of the drape a festive shimmer, which balances the cool turquoise flowers on the body.

Which blouse would suit maroon and turquoise?

A turquoise blouse picks up the flowers and looks striking. A gold blouse is the classic festive choice, and an orange or rust blouse echoes the small orange dots in the embroidery. Antique gold or kundan jewellery suits the rich wine shade.

Is the saree Silkmark certified?

Yes. It carries the Silkmark, the Silk Mark Organisation of India's label for genuine natural silk. It confirms the fabric is real eri silk, which is useful assurance when buying silk online.

What is included?

One saree of 6.3 to 6.4 metres with a blouse piece in the pallu colour, attached at one end. Cut it off along the end before taking the saree to your tailor.

How should I store a deep-coloured silk?

Keep it in a separate cloth bag, away from pale fabrics, in a dry place. Change the folds now and then and air it out in dry weather. Dry clean only, and keep it out of direct sun to protect the colour.
