Katan Silk Masterful Handcrafted Wine Suit (T+B+D)

What stands out on the Masterful suit?

The wine top fabric carries woven zigzag chevron lines, and the dupatta has a wide gold border of triangles running along its length, in the temple style. Gold and cream zari bring a soft shine against the deep wine, and the border is what gives the set its dressy, festive look.

Can the dupatta be draped in different ways?

Yes. At 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 32 to 33 inches wide, it works pinned on one shoulder for work, draped over both shoulders for a festive look, or worn loosely around the neck. Choose a drape that lets the wide gold triangle border run along the front.

How do I style the Masterful set for a festive evening?

Wine with a temple border looks rich, so keep the rest classic: gold jhumkas or a choker, a bindi and gold juttis. A straight or A-line kurta with a plain churidar lets the zigzag show. Drape the dupatta so the triangle border is visible.

How do I keep the sheen after washing?

Wash gently by hand in mild detergent once the first dry clean is done, and dry it flat or on a hanger in the shade. Press on low heat with a cotton cloth over the fabric. Store it in a cotton or muslin cloth, away from moisture.

What is Katan silk?

Katan is a traditional silk fabric made from pure silk threads, known for its smooth, shiny surface and fine texture. It's long been used in Indian sarees and occasion wear. Here it carries a jacquard self-weave, so the zigzag pattern is woven into the cloth itself.
