The Story Behind Neeli Buuti
Blue holds a special place in Indian textile history — from indigo dyeing to the fine buti motifs hand-worked onto festive cloth. Neeli Buuti draws on both. The collection keeps the buti motif at its heart, scattering it as hand embroidery and as our own inhouse buti prints across every silhouette. The result is a collection that feels traditional in spirit but contemporary in cut.
Explore the Neeli Buuti Collection
Hand-Embroidered Kurta Sets — The core of the collection. Kurta sets with matching pyjamas and pants, worked in buti embroidery, mukaish, stone detailing and our signature buti prints. They range from lighter daytime styles to richly embroidered sets, so there is a piece for both a small puja and a festive evening.
Anarkali & Sharara Sets — Flowing Kalidar Anarkalis paired with shararas and dupattas. The panelled silhouettes give a graceful, dramatic flare, while the blue palette keeps them feeling fresh rather than heavy — made for sangeets, mehendi functions and festive celebrations.
Designer Sarees — Pre-draped buti-print sarees, cocktail saree sets and jacket sarees, finished with mirror work and hand embroidery. The pre-draped styles bring contemporary ease — the richness of a designer saree without the lengthy drape.
Nehru Jacket & Dhoti Sets — Buti-print Nehru-jacket sets, hand-embroidered dhoti sets and coat-and-flared-pant combinations. These are the structured, indo-western pieces of the edit, designed for a confident, modern entrance.
Co-ord Sets & Separates — Co-ord sets, off-shoulder tunics, half-shirts and an easy tie-dye dress. Light, mix-and-match pieces at the collection's accessible end, carrying the blue buti story into relaxed festive and daytime dressing.
The Craft of Neeli Buuti
Every Neeli Buuti piece is hand-embroidered in THETAA's own atelier, using buti work, mukaish, mirror and stone detailing, alongside our inhouse buti prints. The motifs are placed with intention across silk, Chanderi and other premium fabrics, and the consistent blue palette ties the whole collection together — so each piece pairs naturally with the next.
