Cream Desi Tussar Silk Saree with Tone-on-Tone Kantha Embroidery

Product Details

This saree is a magnificent piece, showcasing intricate work of hand Kantha embroidery, on  Desi Tussar silk.

Here’s a detailed description:

Fabric and Base Color: The saree is made from Desi Tussar silk, with rich texture, natural sheen, and slightly coarse, yet luxurious, feel. The base color is a beautiful creamy off-white or ivory, which lends itself to an elegant and sophisticated aesthetic. This natural hue of Tussar provides an ideal backdrop for the detailed embroidery.

Kantha Embroidery Work: The saree is entirely covered with extensive and exquisite Kantha embroidery. Kantha, traditionally a running stitch technique, is used here to create highly detailed and ornate patterns across the entire body and pallu.

• Color of Embroidery: The embroidery is done in a tone-on-tone fashion, using threads that are either the same color as the base fabric (off-white/ivory) or a very slightly lighter or darker shade. This creates a subtle yet highly intricate visual texture.
• Motifs and Patterns: The patterns are primarily large, elaborate floral and botanical motifs, including sprawling vines, intricate paisleys, and lush flower clusters. These designs are meticulously hand-stitched, giving the saree a rich, textured, and almost embossed appearance. The density and precision of the stitching are remarkable, highlighting the craftsmanship.
• Border: The saree features a well-defined border, also heavily embroidered with matching Kantha patterns. These borders frame the saree beautifully and add to its grandeur.
• Pallu: The pallu is  grand, with an even denser concentration of the elaborate Kantha motifs. The design here is large, symmetrical arrangement of floral and scrollwork patterns, showcasing the full artistry of the Kantha technique. The very end of the pallu has subtle tassels, likely also in a matching cream or off-white.
