Syaahi HandPainted Soft Silk Marine Blue Saree

What is painted on the Marine Blue saree?

The royal blue body carries painted medallions and paisleys, and the pallu panel is green with peacocks and birds in a flowering tree. A yellow border frames the saree, so it is one of the most colourful pieces in the range.

What jewellery suits it?

Gold jewellery suits the yellow border; emerald or green stones pick up the pallu. Keep it to one statement piece, as the saree already carries plenty of colour. Drape the pallu open so the painted peacocks show.

What occasions suit it?

It is chosen first for festive occasions, where the bright hand painting and yellow border feel lively and cheerful. It also suits the office, an office party, and a kitty lunch or brunch. For work, pair it with a plain blouse and small earrings; for festivals, add gold jhumkas.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A blouse piece in the same soft silk comes attached to the saree. Ask your tailor to cut it off before draping and stitch it to your design. Because the painting is the focus, a simple, well-fitted blouse usually shows the saree off best.

How does soft silk drape?

Soft silk has a smooth texture and a gentle sheen, and it falls fluidly rather than standing away from the body. The pleats sit soft and close, and the pallu flows well over the shoulder, which lets the painted panel hang flat and visible.

Will the paint run or fade?

Dry cleaning only is the rule precisely to protect the painting. Keep the saree away from water, perfume and damp storage, and if it ever gets damp, dry it in the shade. Storing it in its own bag and refolding it regularly keeps the painted areas from rubbing and creasing, which is what protects the colour.
