Dark Blue Paisley Kashmiri Silk Printed Saree | Manzil

A tonal dark-blue drape in all-over paisley with a multi-panelled pallu.

Why this drape

• Blue-on-blue depth — dark and slate blues layer with light-blue and teal accents for a tonal look that reads quietly rich rather than busy.
• The pallu — a multi-panelled end-piece of floral blocks and geometric bands finishes the tonal body print with structure.
• Blouse piece included — an 80 cm running blouse piece is attached, so a matching blouse costs nothing extra.

The print

Paisley motifs repeat across the drape in dark and slate blue, lifted by light-blue and teal, before building into the multi-panelled pallu. Printed on one route through a specialist converter, the blues stay tonal and even and the repeat lines up piece to piece.

The drape

Light at 425 g and fluid in the hand, it pleats cleanly and carries for hours. The tonal blue is versatile enough for office and daily wear and holds its own at a daytime evening event.

Before first wear

The drape ships unstitched, the form that keeps it exchange-eligible, so you can check the shade first. Then have the fall and pico done and cut the blouse from the attached 80 cm piece.
