Abstract Katan Silk Tie Dyed Violet & Yellow Suit (T+B+D)

How would you describe this colour combination?

Bright and festive. The magenta-violet top and yellow bottom are a high-contrast pair, and the yellow and pink marble-printed dupatta ties them together. It is a cheerful set for anyone who enjoys wearing colour.

What gives the top its fine lines?

The top is Katan silk with jacquard weaving, which creates fine vertical dash stripes. They add texture to the magenta-violet without competing with the dupatta, so the top also works with plain bottoms from your wardrobe.

Do I need to get it stitched?

Yes. It comes as unstitched fabric: 2.4-2.5 metres for the top at 44-45 inches wide, 2.4-2.5 metres for the bottom at 42 inches wide, and a dupatta of 2.3-2.4 metres. Your tailor makes the top and bottom to your size.

How do I drape the dupatta?

For festive wear, spread it across both shoulders or pin it on one side and let it fall long, so the yellow and pink swirls show. For the office, fold it narrow and place it over one shoulder. Its 32-33 inch width gives you room to play.

How do I wash it?

Get the first wash dry cleaned. After that, hand wash with a mild detergent, separately, and dry it in the shade. Keep the magenta top and the yellow bottom apart while wet, as the care routine asks for washing each piece separately.

Why might my set look a little different from the photos?

The set is hand tie-dyed and handcrafted, so the colour spread and swirl patterns can vary slightly with each piece. Minor irregularities are part of handcrafted work. Screen settings can also shift bright shades like magenta.
