Bright magenta silk, printed all over in off-white florals and tiny geometry.

Why this piece

A plain magenta piece balances the printed ones, so the set reads bold without turning busy.
Colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, which matters most on a saturated magenta.
Light to wear at 600 to 650 g for all three pieces together.

The print

Small off-white florals alternate with tiny geometric shapes across a magenta ground, packed densely enough that the white reads as a fine scatter rather than a motif you count. One piece is left plain, which gives the eye somewhere to rest and gives you a quieter option for the bottom or the kurta, whichever you prefer.

The long piece finishes in a linear geometric band and short fringe, a small formal detail on an otherwise free-running print.

The colour

This is a confident, bright magenta-purple rather than a muted one, and katan silk gives it a lustre that a cotton in the same shade simply cannot hold. The fabric is opaque, so the colour stays true and dense with no lining behind it.

Styling

Bright shades photograph beautifully at daytime functions, so this one earns its place at a mehendi, a festive lunch or a day wedding, and dresses down to office wear with flat sandals and silver studs. Pair with white or gold jewellery to pick up the off-white in the print. Genuine hand block on silk at this price sits well below the premium silk suits it stands beside.

Small differences in register and in the weight of each impression come from blocks pressed by hand, and no two lengths are identical.
