Silkmark Tussar Lucid Blockprint Purple & Pink Saree

Is purple and pink very bright?

It is colourful but harmonious, since purple and pink are close relatives. Purple brings depth and pink adds warmth, so the Lucid saree feels rich and feminine. A key-pattern printed band with cream accents breaks up the colour and keeps the look from feeling too sweet.

What jewellery goes with purple and pink?

Silver and pearls suit the purple, while rose gold flatters the pink. For a festive look, kundan or polki studs add sparkle. Avoid heavy yellow gold, which can clash with cool purples.

What's the best way to look after it between wears?

Air it in the shade after wearing, then fold it into its own bag and store it in a dry place. Don't leave it on the same fold for months; refold it occasionally. When it needs cleaning, send it for dry cleaning only.

How long is the saree?

The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, and the blouse piece comes attached to it. That is a comfortable length for a regular Nivi drape with full pleats and a pallu over the shoulder. Detach the blouse piece before you drape it.

Where does the saree come from?

It comes from Bhagalpur. The fabric is tussar silk, also known as Kosa silk, which comes from the cocoons of wild silkworms and is valued for its rich texture and natural sheen. It is Ghicha tussar, spun from shorter fibres, which gives it a slightly coarser, slubbed surface under the block print.
