Silkmark Certified Poised Pure Tussar Cutwork Green Saree

What is this saree like?

It is a bright moss green tussar with tan-and-coral lotus cutwork on a lattice, worked along the border and the lower length and finished with a scalloped edge. The warm coral softens the green, and the border carries most of the design.

What colour is the blouse piece?

The blouse piece comes attached to the saree, in the pallu colour. If you like a contrast, a coral blouse picks up the cutwork motifs and warms up the green. A plain neckline suits the busy cutwork border.

What does Silkmark certify?

That the saree is genuine silk. The Silk Mark Organisation of India certifies it as pure tussar, which comes from the cocoons of wild silkworms and is prized for its rich texture and natural sheen. The cutwork is then done by hand on that silk.

What jewellery suits it?

Antique gold suits the moss green and coral. Coral or pearl jewellery picks up the lotus motifs for daytime and brunches. A simple gold chain and studs keep it right for the office, while heavier gold works for a wedding or festive evening.

How should I care for it?

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