Mustard & Navy Colour-Blocked Mushroo Silk Banarasi Saree
Soft & Lightweight Mushroo Silk · Handloom · 2-Colour Block Body · Blouse Included
A soft, lightweight Mushroo silk saree in a striking two-colour block — a deep navy panel meeting a rich mustard field, woven all over in a fine silver diamond-and-star lattice. The pallu carries a dense band of leaf-and-flower motifs in the same silver zari, framed by a scalloped floral border along the edge in matching mustard and olive. Blouse included.

Colour-blocking on a single handloom body — rather than dyeing the whole saree one shade — requires the weaver to plan the warp and weft transition precisely so the block sits exactly where intended, with no bleed or blur at the seam. Mushroo silk, with its silk warp and cotton weft, takes to this technique particularly well, keeping the saree light and breathable even with all-over zari work.
