SR-0050 - Beige & Black Tussar Silk Saree

A delicate silk, highly valued for its purity and linear weaving texture. This silk is drawn from cocoons especially cultured on Arjun, Saja or Sal trees. Tussar silk is available naturally in shades of muted gold and mild beige. Tussar silk is considered ideal as well as auspicious for marriages, religious ceremonies and other functions. Sakhi uses Tussar in natural hue featuring Hand Block Printing and Hand Embroidery.

One of the earliest and simplest methods of textile printing, Block printing is, very simply put, the printing of patterns on textile using incised wooden blocks. Block printing involves myriad steps, but the most important step is the preparation of the block which determines the quality and clarity of impressions. The block is then dipped in the desired dye and carefully placed adjacent to the preceding impression of the block as per the design. Sakhi gives a contemporary twist to block print by combining geometric designs like Polka Dots with traditional Indian motifs like Peacock. The multiple stages involved in this hand craft makes the fabric soft making it fall well.
