Shop tussar silk sarees with a warm natural sheen, featuring Kantha embroidery, Madhubani art and hand-block prints.
Why choose a tussar silk saree?
Tussar (also spelt tussore or tasar) is a wild silk with a slightly textured weave and a warm, golden lustre. It is lighter and more breathable than heavy silks, which makes it a favourite for day functions and office occasions.
Tussar takes colour and embroidery beautifully. Here you will find tussar sarees with Kantha stitch, Madhubani and Mithila art, and block-printed motifs.
Styling tips
With heavily embroidered tussar, let the saree lead: a plain blouse and minimal jewellery work best. For printed tussar, pick a blouse colour from the print for an elegant, matched look.
Frequently asked questions
Is tussar silk a real silk?
Yes. Tussar is a natural silk made by wild silkworms, which gives it a coarser texture and a more matte, golden sheen than mulberry silk. A few designs are tussar or art silk blends; the product description gives the exact fabric.
How do I care for a tussar silk saree?
Dry clean it, store it folded in a cotton cloth, and keep it away from damp and direct sunlight.
