Mridini Silkmark Tussar Silk Embroidery Saree Warm Beige

Will warm beige look too plain?

No. The body is a plain warm beige, but the wide purple embroidered lattice border and the heavily worked pallu give it plenty of detail. Pair it with a deep purple blouse to pick up the embroidery for festive wear, or with the matching blouse piece for a soft, elegant look.

Which jewellery suits warm beige?

Warm metals are the natural fit: antique gold, kundan and polki look rich against beige tussar. Pearls keep it light for a daytime brunch or the office. Coloured stones, like rubies or emeralds, add colour if you're keeping the blouse matching.

What comes with the saree?

The saree, about 5.5 to 5.6 metres long, and a matching blouse piece of 80 cm. The blouse you see on the model was styled for the photoshoot and isn't part of the package; you receive the blouse fabric to have stitched to your own design and measurements.

Is the Mridini handwoven?

Yes. It is a Silkmark tussar silk handloom saree, so the base fabric is woven on a hand-operated loom before the embroidery is added. That is why you may notice slight irregularities in the texture; they are the sign of a handcrafted piece rather than a flaw.

How do I store it?

In a separate cloth bag, in a dry place. Change the folds every so often so the silk doesn't crease permanently along one line, and air it out in dry weather. Cleaning is dry clean only, and if it ever needs drying, keep it in the shade.
