Sandhya Hunter Green and Black Hand Embroidered Kantha Stitch Pure Tussar Silk Saree | Silk Mark Certified
 
Unveil sophisticated jewel-toned elegance with our Sandhya Hunter Green and Black Hand Embroidered Kantha Saree. Crafted over several months by master artisans in rural West Bengal, India, this exquisite piece pairs rich color saturation with dense, delicate needlework. Woven from 100% pure Tussar silk, the saree features a deep hunter green body contrasted with sleek black silk borders and edging. To guarantee its material purity and premium quality, this creation is proudly Silk Mark Certified.
Named Sandhya—meaning "twilight"—this saree captures the mystery of dusk through its deep jewel tones and contrasting pastel embroidery. The body and sweeping pallu are richly decorated with soft lilac-pink hand-embroidered geometric mandalas, floral blooms, and delicate running-stitch borders. The intricate needlework pops beautifully against the hunter green field and black trim.
This saree includes a matching unstitched black Tussar silk blouse piece finished with a coordinating lilac-pink Kantha-embroidered border.
 
Artisanal Kantha Stitch Disclaimer
 
The Mark of Authentic Hand Embroidery: This saree is completely hand-embroidered by rural village artisans over the course of several months. Please note the following organic traits inherent to true handloom Kantha art:
Frame Stretch Marks: To execute precision running stitches across a wide expanse, the silk is tightly stretched on a wooden embroidery frame. This manual tension can leave faint stretch marks or temporary micro-gaps in the weave near stitch lines, which naturally relax and settle over time.
Artisan Stencil Marks: Before embroidery begins, the artisan applies hand-drawn stencil guidelines to map out intricate geometric patterns and floral motifs. Subtle trace lines or stencil ink marks may be visible near the threadwork; these wash out easily and serve as authentic proof of manual tracing.
Human Imperfections: Because a single piece requires months of dedicated human craftsmanship to complete, slight variations in stitch tension, tiny thread knots, and minor asymmetrical pattern lines are natural. These characteristics showcase the unique soul of handcrafted fashion and are not considered manufacturing defects.
