Silkmark Certified Melodic Pure Tussar Cutwork Sea Green Saree

What is this sea green saree like?

It is a muted sea green tussar with a soft sheen, with small maroon-red lotus motifs placed along the border and lower length, and a lattice cutwork border finished with a scalloped edge. Maroon on sea green is a gentle, classic pairing.

What blouse comes with it?

The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres including an attached blouse piece, which comes in the pallu colour. If you prefer a contrast, a maroon or red blouse would pick up the lotus motifs and tie the look together.

What does Silkmark mean?

It means the saree has been certified as genuine silk, here pure Tussar, by the Silk Mark Organisation of India. Tussar comes from wild silkworm cocoons, with a slightly textured surface and soft sheen, and the label confirms that is what you are getting.

Will small irregularities show?

Possibly. The cutwork is done by hand and tussar comes from wild silkworm cocoons, so slight irregularities in the cut edges and the silk's texture are natural. They make each saree slightly different from the next and are part of its handcrafted character.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in its own bag in a dry place, air it in dry weather and refold it along different lines every so often. Fold the saree so the lotus border sits inside the fold rather than on the crease, and keep it out of direct sun.
