Silkmark Certified Joyful Pure Tussar Cutwork Gray Saree

What does this saree look like?

It is a smoky grey tussar with a soft sheen, worked with red-and-pink lotus flowers on a cutwork lattice along the border and lower length, finished with a scalloped edge. The warm red flowers lift the cool grey, while the upper body stays quiet.

What colour is the blouse piece?

The blouse piece comes attached to the saree in the pallu colour, and it is unstitched, so your tailor can detach it and stitch it to your fit. For contrast, a red blouse picks up the lotus flowers; for a tonal, understated look at work, a grey blouse works.

What is Tussar silk?

Tussar, or Kosa, silk is made from wild silkworm cocoons and has a rich texture and natural sheen. This saree is Silkmark certified as pure tussar. Tussar sarees are valued for their luxurious feel and are often worn for special occasions and festivities.

What jewellery suits grey and red?

Oxidised silver suits the grey, and antique gold picks up the red lotus flowers. Both look good with this palette. A chunky oxidised necklace suits it for an evening out, and small studs for work.

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.
