Katan Silk Splendid Handcrafted Gray Suit (T+B+D)

What's woven on the Splendid suit?

The slate blue-grey fabric has vertical columns of tiny beige floral motifs woven in, and the dupatta has golden-toned stripe bands near its tasselled ends. It is a quiet, smart combination with a soft sheen from the Katan silk.

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. Its fringed or tasselled ends hang nicely when left free.

How do I add colour to the Splendid set?

Grey takes almost any accent. A mustard, pink or teal potli adds a pop, and gold jewellery picks up the dupatta stripes. Keep footwear neutral. For a festive look, a bright lip and statement jhumkas lift it easily.

Can Katan silk be hand washed?

Yes, after the first wash, which should ideally be a dry clean. From then on, wash it gently by hand with a mild detergent, keep it separate from other clothes and dry it in the shade, away from direct sun, to protect the colour and sheen.

Where would you wear a Katan silk suit like this?

Mostly to work: blue-grey with small beige motifs is an easy office colour, and the silk sheen keeps it from looking dull. After that, a dinner out, a kitty party or a brunch. For a festive day, lean on the golden stripes of the dupatta with gold jhumkas.
