Rooprekha Jamdani Cotton Suit (T+B+D) Peach

What shade is this Rooprekha set?

It is a soft peach-orange. An olive-gold band at the hem carries pink and purple flowers, small flowers are scattered across the ground, and the dupatta borders match the hem band. The woven detail stays light, with a gently textured finish.

Do I need a tailor for it?

Yes, it comes unstitched: a 3 to 3.1 metre top, a 2.4 to 2.5 metre bottom and a 2.4 to 2.5 metre dupatta. That gives you the freedom to choose your kurta length, neckline and bottom style.

Which colours pair with this set?

The peach-orange ground looks good with teal, pink and purple accents, and with gold or oxidised jewellery. An olive or gold-toned bag picks up the hem and dupatta borders, and tan juttis keep the look earthy.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry it in the shade. Don't scrub the woven motifs or wring the fabric; press the water out in a towel instead. Iron on the reverse.

How can I tell the motifs are woven, not printed?

Jamdani motifs are inserted by hand during weaving, so they are part of the cloth rather than sitting on its surface. Turn the fabric over and you'll find the motifs built into the weave. Slight variations in texture are normal and reflect handcrafted textiles.

Is it comfortable for long hours?

Yes. It's pure cotton, soft, lightweight and breathable, and it stays comfortable through long wear in any season. That makes it a practical choice for long office days, and the woven floral hem keeps it smart enough for a kitty lunch or a festive gathering.

Where does the Rooprekha range come from?

It's sourced directly from Rashmi, a weaver in Udhna, Gujarat. The suits are pure cotton with jamdani motifs woven in by hand, and slight variations in texture are part of their handmade character.
