Hand-picked pieces that sing gently with this one.
Behind this piece
Muga silk is one of Assam's most storied offerings, woven along the Brahmaputra valley by communities who have practised this craft for centuries. Its natural champagne lustre deepens with every wash, a quality unique among the world's silks. This saree interprets that tradition in art silk, bringing the characteristic warmth of muga's palette to a wider audience. The thread-weave bootis echo the small, rhythmic motifs found in Assamese loom work, while the patchwork border borrows from a decorative sensibility rooted in the region's festive weaving. Heritage, rendered gently accessible.
How to style
Wear this beige saree in a simple Assamese drape or a classic Nivi fold for a Bihu celebration or a morning puja. Pair it with a sleeveless raw-silk blouse in ivory or pale gold to keep the palette cohesive. Add bell-metal jewellery from Assam, specifically dokra-style bangles and a simple necklace, to honour the regional story. For a contemporary outing, a structured boat-neck blouse in deep terracotta creates pleasing contrast. Finish with tan juttis or block-heeled kolhapuris. The saree carries afternoon light beautifully, making it equally suited to cultural gatherings and relaxed weekend occasions.
Fabric & care
Art silk benefits from a gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Do not wring or twist the fabric. Rinse thoroughly, then press out excess water between two clean cotton towels. Dry flat in the shade, away from direct sunlight, which can alter the warm beige tone over time. Iron on a low to medium setting while the fabric retains slight dampness, using a thin pressing cloth as a barrier. Store folded in a soft muslin cloth inside a dry drawer. Avoid plastic bags, which trap moisture and weaken the fibre.
