Madhubani Silkmark Gicha Tussar Silk Plum Wine Saree

What is painted on the pallu?

A central panel of painted Madhubani figures and motifs set within several borders in green, rust and cream. The body is a plum-wine shade with small painted roundels, and a painted border runs along the edge.

How does plum wine read?

It is deep and slightly cool, with purple undertones. That gives the warm cream-and-rust painting a strong contrast, and it looks especially rich in evening light or under warm indoor lighting.

What jewellery pairs with it?

Antique gold or polki brings out its richness for a festive evening. For a more modern look, oxidised silver with one statement piece works well and suits the folk-art feel.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes. An unstitched blouse piece in the pallu colour comes attached to the saree, which is about 6.3 to 6.4 metres in total. You can tailor it as a matching blouse or choose a contrast of your own.

What does Silkmark mean?

It is a mark for genuine natural silk, given under the Silk Mark Organisation of India. The base here is Ghicha Tussar, handwoven from yarn spun out of broken or leftover tussar fibres, which gives it a rich, durable and slightly irregular texture.
