Behind this piece
Art silk carries a quiet democratic spirit in Indian textile history. Born from the ambition to bring the luminosity of pure silk to a wider audience, it draws on the same weaving traditions that shaped Gujarat's printed saree heritage and Bengal's block-print culture. The green-lily motif here belongs to a long lineage of floral vocabulary in Indian craft, where botanical forms were translated into repeat prints through hand-carved wooden blocks or screen techniques. The tasseled pallu and wide border echo the architectural sensibility of festive Indian weaving: deliberate, layered, and generous in its ornamentation.
How to style
For a daytime wedding function, pair this saree with a sleeveless raw-silk blouse in deep forest green and gold Kolhapuri heels. A kundan choker set keeps the palette grounded. For a cultural evening or theatre outing, drape it in a Bengali-style pleating and wear it with a full-sleeved ivory blouse and oxidised silver jhumkas. Casually styled, tuck the pallu at the waist, add a fitted cotton blouse in off-white, flat mojaris, and a single gold bangle. The tasseled pallu works best when left to fall freely, letting the border do its quiet, deliberate work.
Fabric & care
Art silk, a cellulose-based or viscose-derived fibre, is more delicate than it appears. Always dry-clean for the first wash to preserve the printed motifs and border integrity. If hand-washing at home, use cold water and a mild pH-neutral detergent; never wring or twist the fabric. Lay flat on a clean towel to dry, away from direct sunlight, which can fade the green pigments over time. Iron on a low-to-medium setting with a pressing cloth between iron and fabric. Store folded in soft muslin, away from moisture, and avoid cedar balls near printed textiles.
