Ivory and Lilac Hand Painted Bishnupuri Silk Saree with Red Flowers and Red Border

This ivory lilac hand painted silk saree is soft and dreamy, like a painting on paper. Gentle washes of lilac, grey and orange drift across the ivory base. Over them, red and pink flowers bloom with deep plum shadows and fine dark stems. A solid red border runs along the edge, giving the soft colours a crisp frame.

This ivory lilac hand painted silk saree comes with a 1 m blouse piece, unstitched, so your tailor can make it in your size.

The fabric

Bishnupuri silk is a traditional silk from Bishnupur in West Bengal. Here, weavers use 3-ply yarn, so each thread holds three twisted strands. As a result, the saree has a soft sheen and a sturdy feel. It drapes easily and stays comfortable for hours.

Painted by hand

Artists paint this saree wet on wet, letting the colours flow into each other on the silk. Then they deepen the shadows and add the stems by hand. Because every saree is painted by hand, yours will differ a little from the photo.

How to style it

Have the blouse piece stitched in a simple cut, or choose a plain red or plum blouse to match the border. Then add pearl studs and a thin gold bangle for an easy, graceful look.

Perfect for

Festive pujas, Durga Puja, art and cultural events, daytime weddings, office celebrations, and gifting.

Also available in: peach and charcoal grey, indigo blue, blush pink, pink and magenta, yellow and navy, salmon pink, turquoise
