Grey Floral on Bright Pink Katan Silk Block Print Suit | Phuhaar

Soft grey flowers repeat across a bright pink ground, block by block.

Why this piece

• Grey on pink is the rare combination that makes a vivid shade wearable to work.


• Colour-fast - the grey stays grey and does not muddy the pink in the wash.


• A wide dark-grey printed band closes one end of the length, ready to place as a hem or yoke.

The print

The floral motif is small and evenly repeated, so from a step away the set reads as a soft textured pink rather than a busy print. Up close the grey outlines show the block edges clearly. One end of the length carries a broad dark-grey patterned band, which a good tailor can position as a kurta hem, a sleeve edge or a yoke rather than cutting through it.

Wearing it

Bright enough for a festive lunch, quiet enough for the office - pair it with grey or silver jewellery and keep the bottom plain so the band stays the focus. The combination of katan silk, real hand block work and Bhagalpur origin is close to unavailable elsewhere at this price. Block printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day.

Look along the repeat and you will find rows that sit a fraction closer than others. That is the printer judging by eye, and it is the signature of true hand block work.

The grey you see was laid down by a wooden block carved by hand in Bhagalpur, inked and pressed onto the silk one flower at a time. The wide band at the end takes a larger block and a steadier arm - it has to land square, and there is no second attempt on silk. Generations of printers in this town have worked the same way, reading placement by eye, letting the small shifts of the hand stay visible in the finished length.
