Silkmark Certified Elegant Pure Tussar Cutwork Dark Magenta Saree

What is on the border of the Dark magenta?

The magenta body is plain, and a wide border of multicoloured floral work in blue, yellow, red and green runs along the pleats and across the pallu. It is bright and celebratory, with the colour concentrated at the edges so the body still reads as magenta.

What blouse comes with it?

The blouse piece is attached and comes in the pallu colour, within a total length of 6.3-6.4 metres. A turquoise or royal blue blouse picks up the blue in the border; a plain magenta blouse keeps the attention on the border.

Which occasions is it best for?

It is made for festivals first, and the colourful border looks right at a wedding or reception as a guest. With a plain blouse and small jewellery it goes to the office, and it carries easily to an office party or an evening dinner. Gold jhumkas bring out the magenta best for celebrations.

What is Tussar silk?

Tussar, or Kosa, silk comes from wild silkworm cocoons and has a rich texture and natural sheen. This saree is Silkmark certified as pure Tussar. The magenta shows that sheen strongly, so it looks brighter in daylight than indoors.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly and air it in dry conditions. Fold the cutwork border loosely so the open areas are not crushed or creased sharply.
