Syaahi Kalamkari Hand Painted Pure Silk Light Purple Saree

How is it different from the rest of the collection?

It is the only one where the whole body is painted. Instead of an open ground with scattered motifs or a side panel, a dense floral creeper of blue, green and pink blossoms covers the lavender body edge to edge. It reads soft and garden-like rather than graphic.

What is on the pallu?

The pallu moves to a deeper purple ground with a painted scene of figures among flowering branches, and rows of decorative work below. Because the body is already patterned, the pallu blends in more gently than it does on the plain-bodied pieces.

What are good occasions for it?

Festivals first, where the florals and painted pallu feel celebratory without being heavy. It also works for an office party and a kitty lunch or brunch. On lighter occasions, dress it down with a plain blouse and small earrings for the office.

How does it feel to wear for long hours?

Soft silk is smooth against the skin, with a gentle sheen, and it drapes easily into pleats without stiffness. That makes it comfortable through a long festival day or an evening function. Because the florals are painted rather than woven or embroidered, there is no extra bulk anywhere on the body, and the saree moves as one piece.

Is there a blouse piece?

Yes, it is attached to the saree in the same pure silk. Your tailor will cut it off before stitching. With a painted body, a plain blouse in red to match the border, or in deep purple, keeps the look balanced.

How should it be cleaned?

Dry clean only. With paint across the whole body, it is especially important not to soak or hand wash it. Store it folded in its own bag in a dry place, refold it occasionally, and air it in dry conditions away from direct sun.
