Lavender & Offwhite Pure Tussar Silk Handblock Printed Saree | Silk Mark Certified | Tamal Boutique

Lavender is a colour that carries spring in it — soft, fresh, and full of a quiet, contemplative warmth. When this hue meets the natural earthiness of pure Tussar silk and is rendered through the ancient art of handblock printing, the result is a saree of rare gentleness and sophistication. Tamal Boutique presents this Lavender & Offwhite Pure Tussar Silk Handblock Printed Saree: crafted by skilled artisans using carved wooden blocks pressed into fabric by hand, creating motifs with the organic irregularity that only human hands can produce.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is handblock printing on silk?
Handblock printing is one of India’s oldest textile printing traditions. Artisans carve intricate motifs into wooden blocks, then hand-press these blocks onto the fabric with natural or fabric dyes — one block, one impression at a time. The slight variation and organic imperfection in each print is a hallmark of authentic handblock work and is considered a mark of quality, not a flaw.

Why does Tussar silk take handblock prints differently from other silks?
Tussar silk’s natural texture and slight surface irregularity causes handblock dyes to absorb with greater depth and variation than on smooth silks like Mulberry or Katan. The result is a printed motif that appears richer, more dimensional, and more organic — with a subtle colour variation that gives the saree a painterly, artisanal quality impossible to achieve on machine-finished silk.

What is Tussar silk?
Tussar silk is a wild silk produced from silkworms that feed on forest trees — primarily Terminalia and Shorea species. Unlike cultivated Mulberry silk, Tussar is harvested from forest-dwelling silkworms, giving it a natural earthy tone, characteristic texture, and an organic authenticity that is deeply valued in Indian handloom tradition. It is breathable, durable, and becomes softer with wear.

Is this saree Silk Mark certified?
Yes — it carries the Silk Mark certification from the Silk Mark Organisation of India, guaranteeing 100% pure natural Tussar silk.

What occasions is lavender Tussar silk best suited for?
Lavender is a soft, season-spanning colour that works beautifully for spring and summer weddings, daytime festive occasions, Eid, Poila Baishakh, cultural events, and any setting where a refined, gentle palette is preferred. The lavender-offwhite combination is also an elegant choice for baby showers, naming ceremonies, and light festive lunches.

How do I care for a handblock printed Tussar silk saree?
Dry clean recommended to preserve the handblock print colours and Tussar silk integrity. If hand washing, use cold water with very mild detergent — do not soak, do not wring. Dry flat in shade. Iron on the reverse side on low heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade handblock dyes over time.
