This saree would be a charming, feminine pick. It is dyed a pale oceanic blue, hemmed in by a narrow border of peachy ivory and brown resembling the colour of beachside sand. Against the aquamarine blue of the foundation, numerous pink lotuses in full bloom are spread across the entirety of the field. Zoom in on the pattern to see how lifelike are the verdants stems and pads that bring out the natural pink of the petals. Amidst the lotuses and along the templetop panel of the border are pale gray flamingoes that add a touch of life to the saree. Indeed this saree will not only turn heads but also start conversations wherever you go draped in this.

The gossamer beauty of this saree lies in the silk-pashmina mix that constitutes the fabric. Pashmina is the most exquisite of Indian wools. It is endemic to the Kashmir valley and the Indo-Tibetan plateaux, and so is the skill required to turn it into the dazzling textiles you see here. In the case of this saree, the pashmina has been blended with pure homegrown silk to produce a unique body and drape. It shimmers in the light, and its texture is seductive. Lots of matching jewels preferably set in gold would complete the verdant, youthful look of this saree.
