Mridini Silkmark Tussar Silk Embroidery Saree Raven Black

How does the black look with the embroidery?

The rust-orange lattice embroidery on the border and pallu stands out crisply against the black, so the detail on the Mridini reads clearly from a distance. Tussar's natural sheen keeps the black from looking flat, with a soft glow in the light. It's a strong choice for evenings and dinners.

What jewellery suits black tussar?

Gold is the classic partner, and on black it looks especially rich: temple, antique gold or kundan for festive wear. For an office party or a modern evening look, try silver or a single statement piece. The matching blouse keeps it sleek; a red or gold blouse adds drama.

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.

How can I tell it's a handloom saree?

Look closely at the surface: handloom tussar has small irregularities and a rich, natural texture. The Mridini is a Silkmark tussar handloom saree, and these minor irregularities are expected, the honest mark of hand weaving rather than a flaw.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only, to protect both the silk and the embroidery. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds and air it regularly so creases don't set, and if it ever needs drying, do it in the shade. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long hours.
