Silkmark Certified Glossy Pure Tussar Cutwork Violet Saree

What does this saree look like?

It is a muted plum-violet tussar with small pale green lotus motifs placed across it, and a lattice cutwork border finished with a scalloped edge. Green on plum is an unusual, fresh contrast, and the cutwork border gives the drape its lace-like detail.

What colour is the blouse piece?

The blouse piece comes attached to the saree, unstitched, in the pallu colour. For a bold look, a green blouse picks up the lotus motifs; for a tonal look, plum works. A plain neckline lets the cutwork border stay the focus.

What does Silkmark mean?

It confirms the saree is genuine silk, certified as pure tussar by the Silk Mark Organisation of India, which guarantees its authenticity and purity. Tussar comes from wild silkworm cocoons and is prized for its rich texture and natural sheen, both of which show on the plum-violet.

Will small irregularities show?

They may. The cutwork is done by hand and the silk is from wild cocoons, so slight variations in the cut edges and texture are natural. They make each saree slightly different from the next.

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. Drying and storing it away from direct light helps the mauve plum keep its depth.
