Deeply atmospheric, quietly magnificent, and rooted in the ancient needlework traditions of Kutch — this deep plum / grape purple tussar silk saree is a sister piece to the slate grey, sharing the same extraordinary cross-stitch embroidery vocabulary in a colour of extraordinary depth and drama. The fabric is a rich, heavy tussar silk in a deep plum / aubergine tone with the characteristic raw, nubby texture of the weave — scattered throughout with small, delicate ivory cross-stitch geometric butis: square frames with four-pointed star / cross fills and small diamond corner accents, rendered in fine ivory cross-stitch dots on the deep plum ground. Each buti is a miniature work of needlework precision — the ivory dots luminous against the dark, jewel-toned silk.
The border is a wide, architectural antique bronze / copper woven zari check / grid stripe — the warm bronze gold woven into the tussar ground in a dense check pattern that glows with a rich, antique warmth against the deep plum body. The zari border runs the full length of the saree on both sides, anchoring the plum body with the warmth of antique bronze.
The pallu is a breathtaking large-scale Kutch / Rabari embroidery-style print composition on the deep plum tussar ground — a spectacular large sunburst / mandala centrepiece of radiating ivory cross-stitch lines spreading outward in a full 360-degree sunburst from a central geometric medallion, filling the lower pallu in a composition of extraordinary graphic power. Surrounding the sunburst are large paisley / boteh motifs outlined in dense ivory cross-stitch dots with geometric interior fills, geometric square frame medallions with cross-stitch dot outlines, and scattered star butis — all in ivory on the deep plum ground. The antique bronze zari border frames the pallu on all sides, completing the composition in a grand, precious sweep.
Comes with a deep plum tussar silk sleeveless Mandarin collar blouse — in the same deep plum tussar silk with the same scattered ivory cross-stitch geometric butis, featuring a structured Mandarin / band collar with a centre-front silver button placket running from collar to hem, sleeveless cut with structured armhole, and a dramatic keyhole / teardrop open back. The matching blouse is a perfectly coordinated companion — the same fabric, the same butis, the Mandarin collar and keyhole back giving it a contemporary, architectural quality.
