Olive green florals run over a deep blue ground, edged with printed chevron borders.
The print is stamped by hand in Bhagalpur with hand-carved wooden blocks, so the olive and blue sit slightly differently along each length. Where a motif rides a little into the border, or the register shifts by a hair, that is the block and the artisan's hand at work, not a flaw. The top and dupatta carry the pattern all over; the bottom stays quiet, with a leafy strip along its base to finish a stitched hem cleanly.
Katan silk gives the set its soft sheen and easy fall, light enough to wear through an office day and rich enough for an evening out. And because two strong colours share the cloth, the colour-fastness matters: the blue stays where it is printed and the olive stays clear, from the first wash onward.
Set details and care
- Unstitched three-piece set: top 2.5 m, bottom 2.5 m, dupatta 2.5 m
- Top and bottom 44 to 45 inches wide; dupatta 35 to 36 inches
- 600 to 650 g for the top, bottom and dupatta together
- Opaque fabric, so no lining is needed; a lining can be added to elevate the look
- Stitches up to 4XL for straight kurta sets, with length customisable
- Colour-fast: does not bleed on the first wash
- Care: dry clean the first wash, then a gentle cold hand wash
- Dispatched the next working day, even though every metre is printed by hand
Take it to your tailor with the border in mind: aligning the chevron edge along the kurta hem and sleeve openings uses the print the way it was drawn.
