Aarohi: Red Sambalpuri Ikkat Tussar Silk Saree

This handwoven Gopalpur Tussar silk saree is a beautiful confluence of Odisha’s textile traditions, where wild tussar silk meets the expressive artistry of Sambalpuri bandha.

The rich red body is woven in natural Gopalpur tussar, prized for its raw texture, gentle slubs, and breathable, matte finish. Scattered butis add quiet detail while allowing the silk’s organic character to shine through. In contrast, the striking blue pallu and border feature Sambalpuri bandha (ikat) motifs, bringing bold geometry and storytelling depth to the drape.

This saree celebrates contrast—rustic and refined, minimal and expressive. Each piece carries subtle variations in weave and colour, a hallmark of authentic tussar silk and hand-done bandha work, making every saree truly one of a kind.

Ideal for those who value craftsmanship. Perfect for festive evenings, cultural gatherings, and meaningful celebrations.
