PRODUCT DETAILS

STORY BEHIND THIS SAREE

Tussar silk, often referred to as ‘wild silk,’ is derived from silkworms that thrive in sal and arjuna forests. The art of Tussar weaving in Odisha dates back centuries, deeply influenced by the state’s temple architecture, tribal art, and cultural traditions. The motifs found on Tussar silk sarees—floral patterns, sacred temple borders, and geometric designs—carry spiritual and historical symbolism. These sarees are often worn during festivals, weddings, and traditional ceremonies, representing grace and heritage.

CRAFTSMANSHIP & THE WEAVING PROCESS

The making of a handwoven Odisha Tussar silk saree is a labor-intensive process that requires exceptional skill and patience:

1. Silk Extraction – The Tussar silk threads are carefully extracted from cocoons found in the forests of Odisha.
2. Hand Spinning & Dyeing – The raw silk is processed, hand-spun, and dyed using natural and eco-friendly methods.
3. Weaving on Traditional Looms – The saree is meticulously woven on handlooms, ensuring each piece is unique and rich in texture.
4. Finishing Touches – The final saree undergoes quality checks to maintain its authenticity, durability, and softness.

Unlike machine-made fabrics, the traditional handloom weaving technique ensures that each saree is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

A Certified Craft – Geographical Indication (GI) Tag

Odisha’s handwoven Tussar silk sarees hold a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, which certifies their authenticity and ensures that they are crafted using traditional methods unique to the region. This distinction not only protects the heritage of Odisha’s weavers but also guarantees customers a genuine, ethically-made product.

Sustainability & Ethical Craftsmanship

Tussar silk production in Odisha follows an eco-friendly and sustainable approach, supporting handloom artisans and rural livelihoods. By choosing a handwoven Tussar silk saree, you are investing in slow fashion, promoting ethical trade, and preserving an art form that has been cherished for generations.

Dust Gently| Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a gentle brush to regularly remove surface dust without scratching the metal.

Avoid Harsh Cleaners| Do not use chemical-based or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the natural finish and patina of the brass.

Wipe Occasionally| For occasional deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Wipe gently and ensure the piece is thoroughly dried afterward.

Do Not Soak| Never immerse Dhokra jewellery in water, as moisture can lead to tarnishing or affect the structure over time.

Keep Away from Moisture| Store and display in a dry indoor space. Excess humidity can accelerate oxidation and dull the brass finish.

Polishing (Optional)| To maintain a bright brass look, gently polish with a soft cloth and a natural brass cleaner. To preserve its antique patina, avoid polishing.

Handle with Care| Though durable, Dhokra pieces are handcrafted and can have delicate elements. Handle with care to avoid bending or breakage.

Store Safely| When not in use, wrap in a soft cloth and store in a dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
