Its gentle drape and natural sheen make it a perfect choice for occasions that call for understated grace and effortless style.

About the Craft

The tussar silk used in this creation is prized for its unique texture, often referred to as 'wild silk' because of its naturally rich, deep gold sheen. The process of making this saree is entirely rooted in the handloom tradition. The fabric is woven using a fine count of Tussar yarn, providing a delicate yet robust base. What truly sets this piece apart is the incorporation of intricate design elements. Figured motifs are skilfully woven into the transparent, plain body using extra weft techniques. Simultaneously, the borders are brought to life with multi-coloured yarns, forming stunning patterns through the use of an extra warp. This simple yet sophisticated formation showcases the weaver’s ability to manipulate threads, creating a luxurious visual texture that is both complex and refined. A judicious blend with cotton yarn ensures that this exquisite silk remains remarkably light and comfortable against the skin, making it suitable for prolonged casual wear.

Speciality

The true speciality of this saree lies in the batik (the gentle thudding of the loom shuttle) in the weaver's hand, a rhythmic process that imbues each thread with human artistry. The sheer transparency of the plain Tussar ground allows the meticulously woven motifs to appear almost suspended, giving the design an airy quality. It is a testament to the fact that simplicity in formation, when executed with mastery and pure material, can result in an exceptionally elegant garment.

How to Care?

To preserve the delicate texture and vibrant colour of your Tussar silk saree, it is recommended to handwash only using a cool, mild detergent. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water and dry in the shade. Avoid harsh sunlight, which can fade the natural dyes. Proper care will ensure the longevity of the silk’s sheen and the integrity of the handloom weave.
