Tussar Tales: Kolkata's Golden Weave Through the Eyes of Elements Calcutta
In the ever-evolving fashion landscape of India, some traditions stand firm like the roots of an ancient tree. Tussar silk is one such legacy—a fabric born from nature, celebrated by royalty, and now redefined by Elements Calcutta for the modern connoisseur.
A Fabric with a Soul
Tussar silk, also known as 'Kosa silk', is primarily produced in India’s eastern states and is cherished for its natural gold sheen, rich texture, and breathable weave. Unlike other silks, it is harvested from wild silkworms and dyed using organic methods, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious fashion lovers.
Kolkata, with its deep-rooted textile culture, has long been a patron of Tussar silk. From the sophisticated lanes of North Kolkata to the traditional puja pandals, Tussar sarees are a common sight—a symbol of understated luxury and Bengali pride.
Elements Calcutta: Redefining Tussar Elegance
Elements Calcutta pays homage to this regal fabric by giving it new life. Their Tussar saree collections embrace both heritage and innovation. Think traditional Kantha motifs on matte-gold bases, temple borders hand-painted with abstract florals, and geometric threadwork that speaks of both legacy and luxury.
Each saree is a statement—a quiet celebration of femininity, finesse, and fabric.
The Craft Behind the Weave
Every Elements Calcutta Tussar saree is handwoven by skilled artisans who have honed their craft for generations. By partnering with rural weaving communities, the brand ensures authenticity, fair practices, and cultural preservation. These weavers do more than create garments; they pass on a living history through their looms.
Where to Wear It?
Whether you’re attending Durga Puja, an elegant brunch, a book launch, or a wedding reception—a Tussar silk saree from Elements Calcutta adds unmatched grace. The fabric's earthy texture and warm tones flatter all skin types and offer a subtle glamour that never shouts, only whispers elegance.
