Silkmark Tussar Kinetic Blockprint Blue & Orange Saree

How is the Kinetic saree laid out?

The body is a plain bright blue, edged with a wide blue and cream lattice scroll border. The pallu switches to orange with printed stripes, so the drape reads as bold, clean colour blocks of blue and orange.

Which blouse suits orange and blue colour blocks?

A blue blouse repeats the plain body and looks crisp; an orange one keeps it warm. A cream blouse picks up the lattice border. Oxidised silver suits the geometric print.

What colour is the blouse piece?

It is in the pallu's colour, so it picks up the orange end, and it comes attached to the saree. It is unstitched, so it can be tailored to your measurements. Wearing it gives a coordinated look; if you prefer, a solid blouse from your own wardrobe works just as well.

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.

Is the length enough for different draping styles?

At 6.3 to 6.4 metres, there's room for the usual Nivi drape with full pleats and either an open or a pleated pallu. The unstitched blouse piece comes attached, so have it detached before you start draping.

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.
