Silk Mark certified
Silk Mark certified- Material & craftsmanship
- Tussar silk with a warm golden-beige glow, a fine slub and a crisp fall that holds its shape. The leaf green was woven in as the cloth took shape, an extra weft lying slightly raised on the face of a plain ground.
- What arrives
- 1 mekhela + 1 sador + 1 matching unstitched blouse piece
The piece in detail
What is woven into it
Small leaf-green diamond buti are spaced far apart over both pieces, leaving the golden-beige silk room.
The mekhela is the showpiece. A wide border of interlaced arches runs along the hem under a scalloped edge, and from it stepped bands of leafy scrollwork climb across the lower half like a staircase.
The sador stays light and open until its end, which closes in a green panel of curling vines and round blossoms, then fine dashed stripes and a soft fringe.
Occasion & styling
Fresh and calm, it suits festivals, mehendi and haldi, baby showers, pujas, daytime weddings and garden functions. It is shown with a matching golden-beige blouse; a deep green blouse brings the motifs forward.
Here it is worn with a fine gold bead necklace and a gold bangle, the sador taken over the shoulder with its green end falling to the side, so the stepped pattern of the mekhela stays in full view.
How to wear a mekhela sador
The mekhela goes on first: step into it, draw it up to the waist, fold the pleats at the front and tuck them in. Then the sador: one end tucked in at the waist, taken round, and the rest carried across the front and over the left shoulder.
The film ends on the gold worn with it: the pendant, the ring, the earrings and the cuff.
The object
One colour does all of it: the buti, the stepped scrolls on the mekhela and the vine panel on the sador are the same leaf green.

Care
- Dry clean only, and tell the cleaner it is Tussar with green motifs.
- Never machine-wash it or leave it to soak: water can carry the green out of the motifs and into the pale ground, and it does not come back out.
- Press it on the reverse at a low setting, with a cotton cloth between the iron and the motifs.
- Fold it in muslin or cotton, never plastic, away from damp and direct sun, and refold it along new lines every few months.
- Keep perfume and deodorant off the cloth.
