Silkmark Tussar Glossy Madhubani Blue & Red Saree

What does this saree look like?

It is geometric: the brick-red body is printed with cream bands of chain and lattice motifs, and the navy pallu is scattered with small cross buti, edged in a red zigzag. It looks crisp and graphic, with the navy pallu cooling the warm red body.

Will the red and blue stay distinct after cleaning?

Yes, if you stick to dry cleaning. Water is what makes printed colours move, so avoid home washing entirely. Store in a breathable bag and air it in the shade.

Is this saree more for festivals or work?

It leans festive: the red and blue geometric print suits festivals and celebrations first. It also works for dinners and brunches, and with a plain blouse it can go to the office too.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. The blouse fabric comes attached to the saree and is in the pallu colour, so it ties in with the most decorated end of the drape. Ask your tailor to cut it off from the saree before the first wear and stitch it to your measurements.

How do I know it is real tussar and not a blend?

The fabric carries Silkmark certification, the purity standard run by the Silk Mark Organisation of India for genuine silk. Beyond the label, real tussar has a slightly uneven, textured surface and a soft natural sheen rather than a flat, uniform shine, which you will notice in person.

What does tussar feel like?

Tussar, also called Kosa silk, comes from the cocoons of wild silkworms. It is prized for its rich texture and natural sheen, and on this saree the surface has a gentle slub that you will see and feel in person. The Silkmark certification confirms it is genuine tussar silk.
