Turquoise Hand Painted Bishnupuri Silk Saree with Blue Flower Bouquets

This turquoise hand painted silk saree feels cool and fresh, like a summer morning. The colour shades from bright turquoise into soft ivory across the drape. Bouquets of turquoise flowers spill from the corners, with leaves in grey, brown and charcoal on fine stems. At each end, a band of solid turquoise frames the painting.

The saree comes with a 1 m blouse piece, unstitched, so your tailor can make it in your size. Because the blouse piece is long, you have room for elbow sleeves or a fuller back.

The fabric

Weavers in Bishnupur, West Bengal, make this silk with 3-ply yarn, twisting three strands into each thread. That gives the fabric more body and a soft, natural shine. It drapes smoothly and holds its pleats, so it suits long days at work or at a function.

Painted by hand

Artists first dye the soft turquoise shading, then paint each flower and leaf on top with a brush. They layer the leaf colours so the bouquets look deep and real. 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 boat neck, or choose a plain grey or ivory blouse. Then add silver jewellery and a soft bun for a calm, elegant look

Perfect for

Office wear, teaching, art and cultural events, daytime functions, summer weddings, and gifting.

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