The Textured Variety of Tussar Silk Sarees


Tussar saris flaunt the rich tradition of Indian textiles. A versatile weave, it allows one to mix and match and create one’s own unique style because, tussar, by nature, is understated.

The silk used to create Tussar saris is exquisite as the cocoons are grown only on special trees such as Arjun, Saja and Sal this gives the sari its unique texture and weave.
A lot more textured than any other variety of Silk, tussar silk is also cooler than the other varieties and is a lot more porous, therefore, breathable.

A subtle textured drape that absorbs dyes easily, Tussar silk sarees come in a riot of colors — from a demure off-white and black to a shocking pink and everything in between in the colour spectrum.
Tussar as a fabric blends well with other fabrics like cotton, linen andjute. Depending on the blend, it can look understated with entire focus on elegance and comfort for office wear, or as an occasion wear, it can be an attention grabber calling out in a way that is difficult to resist!

A saree befitting all occasions, tussar silk saree can be teamed up with a subtle blouse for a formal occasion or one can jazz it up with a vibrant one for a fun event.


Tussar silk sarees either come in traditional colours and combinations that are typically associated with silk or ones that are a result of design intervention like tussars with ikat borders, kalamkari painting, and temple borders.

The current tussar silk saree trends are seen embellished with embroidery, block prints, mirror work, chickan work, bead work and handpaintings like kalamkari and madhubani.
