Silkmark Tussar Adorable Madhubani Orange & Blue Saree

What is printed on this saree?

The body is a plain bright orange, and the print sits on the pallu: black-and-beige panels built around a dotted centre block, in the Madhubani style. A grey-blue band runs along the edge. The orange is vivid, so it brings real energy to the monochrome pallu.

What jewellery goes with the orange and the patchwork print?

Gold picks up the orange and gives a warm festive finish, while oxidised silver leans into the black patchwork for a more casual, arty look. Statement earrings work well, and a black or orange potli ties the outfit together.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. The blouse fabric comes attached to the saree and is in the pallu colour, so it ties in with the most decorated end of the drape. Ask your tailor to cut it off from the saree before the first wear and stitch it to your measurements.

Is it a digital print made to look handmade?

No. It is a hand block print: carved wooden blocks stamped onto the fabric by hand. A digital print is perfectly uniform; hand block printing leaves small, honest variations in colour depth and alignment that you can see when you look closely. Those variations are part of what you are buying.

Does tussar need any special storage?

Mainly dryness and air. Keep it in a separate cloth bag in a dry place, away from damp walls and direct sunlight, and refold it along fresh lines every few months. Air it in the shade now and then in dry, non-moist weather, and keep it to dry cleaning.
