Yellow Katan Silk Suit with Pink Floral Block Print | Phuhaar

Small pink flowers scatter across a saturated yellow that reads warm all day.

Why this piece

• Pink on yellow with fine black outlining - the black is what keeps the pair from looking sugary.


• Colour-fast: the pink does not bleed into the yellow ground on the first wash.


• Opaque, so it can be stitched without a lining even in this bright a shade.

The print

The floral repeat is small and tightly laid across the top, with the black outlines giving the flowers definition against so strong a ground. The dupatta changes pace with horizontal bands of flowing linework and small floral clusters, and one broad band of the same linework sits low on the length.

Wearing it

A yellow this saturated does its best work in daylight - a haldi, a morning function, a festive office day. Keep jewellery gold and minimal and let the print carry the outfit. Katan silk carrying genuine hand block work from Bhagalpur is a combination very few sellers offer, since the craft is usually confined to cotton. Block printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day.

The black outline occasionally sits a shade off the pink beneath it. Two blocks, two passes, one pair of hands - that small offset is the craft showing itself.

This print takes more than one block. The pink flower is laid first, then a second carved block brings the black outline down over it, and the printer must land that second impression on the first by eye. In the Bhagalpur workshops that work is done standing at a long table, moving down the length metre by metre, the rhythm of the hand setting the pace rather than any machine.
