It stays
Keep it out of direct sun and it holds its colour and shape. All it needs is a soft brush every few months, for as long as you want it around.
Handcrafted in Colombo
Some days deserve to stay.
We're a modern craft studio making flowers by hand, one at a time, for the days worth keeping.
The collection
Scarlet Carnation Bouquet
There are days that call for red and nothing else. This one is a dozen scarlet carnations with folded, ruffled petals, wrapped in slate and gold.
LKR 5,200
Made to order, 3 to 5 days
Blush and White Daisy Bouquet
Some birthdays you really want to get right. This one gathers daisies, lilies and small pearl-centred blossoms in blush and white, packed into a full round dome.
LKR 4,800
Made to order, 3 to 5 days
Bright Pink Garden Bouquet
Some days are worth making a noise about. This is the biggest piece we make, in magenta, hot pink and purple, with gerberas, tulips and lilies packed close together.
LKR 8,500
Made to order, 5 to 7 days
Bright Multicolour Daisy Bouquet
Not every day worth marking has a name. This one is a loose armful of daisies in blue, yellow, lilac, red and pink, left unwrapped so the green stems show, and it is the least serious thing we make.
LKR 4,600
Made to order, 3 to 5 days
Why this exists
The day is the point, not the flowers.
We bend and wrap every stem by hand from wire and cotton fibre, so there’s nothing living in it and nothing that can wilt.
It is made for one person
We don't mass produce anything. We choose the colours and write the card for the person who's receiving it.
It arrives ready to give
It arrives wrapped, boxed and finished, with your message written out by hand. There's nothing for you to put together.

About Shakee's
The day is the point.
Shakee's is a Colombo studio for the days worth marking properly. We make every flower by hand, one occasion and one person at a time.
The work is shaped around what the day calls for, then wrapped, written and packed so it arrives ready to give.
