Silk Saree

Pure Silk Saree and Art Silk Saree

A pure silk saree is woven from natural silk threads and has a soft feel and a deep shine; certified pure silk carries the Silk Mark label. An art silk or semi silk saree looks similar but uses man-made or blended threads, so it is lighter on the pocket and easier to care for. We write the exact fabric on every product. For lighter silks, see soft silk sarees and silk cotton sarees.

Silk Saree for Bride and Wedding Guests

For the bride, pick a heavy silk with a rich pallu and a blouse that matches the family jewellery - see our Kanjivaram sarees and Banarasi sarees. Wedding guests can pick lighter silks like Mysore silk and tissue, or plain silk sarees with a contrast blouse for a classy look.
