Navy Blue Scrollwork Block Print Katan Silk Suit | Phuhaar

Ivory scrollwork curls along the dupatta of this deep navy set.

Why this piece

• Scrollwork borders rather than the usual floral band - a larger, more architectural motif.


• Colour-fast, so the ivory holds its brightness against the navy after washing.


• Opaque silk that stitches without a lining, at 600-650 g for all three pieces.

The print

Two scales work together here. The top carries a small, dense sprig repeat in ivory on navy, while the dupatta switches to wide vertical bands of scrollwork and circular motifs along its edge - a much larger drawing that gives the set its character.

Wearing it

Navy with ivory is the most office-ready combination in this range, and the scrollwork dupatta lifts it straight into evening wear when needed. Wear the dupatta with the scrolled edge facing out over the shoulder. Katan silk carrying genuine hand block work from Bhagalpur is a rare pairing - this craft is nearly always sold on cotton. Block printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day.

On a large scroll block the ink never lands perfectly evenly, so some curls read fuller than others. That is hand printing, doing what it does.

A large scroll block is heavy, and it has to be brought down square in one movement - there is no correcting it once the ink meets silk. In Bhagalpur the printer works the dupatta borders first, walking the block along the edge, then returns to the small sprig block for the length of the top. Two scales, two rhythms, and both set by the same pair of hands reading placement by eye.

How is the dupatta different from the top?
The top carries a small, dense ivory sprig repeat, while the dupatta uses a much larger drawing - wide vertical bands of scrollwork and circular motifs along its edge - so the two read as a designed pair rather than the same print twice.

Can it be stitched for a plus size?
Yes. Each piece is 2.5 metres long, with the top and bottom 44-45 inches wide, enough for a straight kurta set up to 4XL, and the length can be customised for a longer silhouette.

Will the ivory dull or the navy bleed after washing?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash. Dry clean it the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash, dried in shade.

Does a dark colour like this need a lining?
No. The silk is opaque on its own, so no lining or aster is needed. One can be added if you prefer a heavier drape.

What if the shade is not what I expected?
Screens vary, so a shade can look a little different in person. If the colour or the quality is not what you hoped for, you can exchange it.
