Olive Green Katan Silk Suit, Red Paisley & Wide Border | Kairi
The hem border comes printed in, nothing to add on.
Red paisleys scatter over olive from hand-carved blocks.
Small red paisleys scatter over olive green, then a wide border shuts the hem.
Why this piece
- Genuinely hand block printed - stamped with carved wooden blocks, not screened
- The wide geometric hem band is printed in, so the kurta needs no added border
- Opaque and unlined, and light at 600 to 650 g for all three pieces
The border
Most of this set is quiet: a matte olive green ground, small red paisleys spaced evenly, black outlines holding them in shape and a little mustard yellow warming the whole thing.
Then the hem arrives and changes the register - a wide decorative band of geometric and linear work that gives a plain straight kurta a finished edge without any additional lace or piping from your tailor. Ask them to keep the band whole at the hem rather than cutting through it.
Wearing it
Olive with red is a working woman's combination: sober enough for an office, warm enough for a family evening. It flatters warm and deep skin tones especially well. Pair it with brass or antique gold and flat leather juttis.
A wide printed border on silk usually belongs to woven and far more expensive suit sets. Here it is block printed by hand, which is what keeps this piece affordable.
The set
Top: 2.5 m, 44 to 45 inches wide
Bottom: 2.5 m, 44 to 45 inches wide
Dupatta: 2.5 m, 35 to 36 inches wide
Fabric: Katan silk, hand block printed with hand-carved wooden blocks
Lining: not required, the fabric is opaque; add one only to elevate the look
Stitching: up to 4XL for straight kurta sets, with length customised for larger sizes
Weight: 600 to 650 g for top, bottom and dupatta together
Care: dry clean the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash
Dispatch: dispatched the next working day, even though every metre is printed by hand
Collection: Kairi
The red sits a fraction outside the black outline in places. That is register variation, and it is the mark of a block placed by hand rather than a machine.

What is the wide hem border like?
After a quiet field of small paisleys, the hem changes register: a wide decorative band of geometric and linear work. It gives a plain straight kurta a finished edge without any lace or piping from your tailor. Ask them to keep the band whole at the hem.
Is the border printed on or stitched separately?
It is printed straight onto the silk with its own carved block, so there is nothing to come loose. That block has to meet its own repeat cleanly for two and a half metres, by eye, with wet colour.
Is it more of a work suit or an evening one?
Work first. Olive with red is sober enough for the office and warm enough for a family evening. It also sits easily at a kitty lunch, and with antique gold jewellery it carries festive occasions well.
What do the black outlines and mustard do?
Black outlines hold each small red paisley in shape against the matte olive, and a little mustard yellow warms the whole field. In places the red sits a fraction outside the black. That is register variation, the mark of a block placed by hand.
What jewellery and footwear suit it?
Brass or antique gold, with flat leather juttis. The combination flatters warm and deep skin tones especially well, and because the border is already printed in, the kurta needs no extra embellishment from your tailor.
Will the red run into the olive?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, which is the usual worry with a red print. Dry clean it once, then gentle cold hand washing is fine.
