Avi Roop Blockprint Pure Kota Doria Suit (T+B+D) Black & White

What does the Avi Roop top look like up close?

The top carries a leaf-and-paisley vine jaal in charcoal grey, printed all over. Paired with a crisp white bottom, it has a near-monochrome look that feels graphic and modern, with the slight natural variations of hand block printing.

Where does the colour come in?

Only in the dupatta border, which is printed with green and rose florals. That small hit of colour stops the monochrome from feeling stark, and you can pull it into your accessories, like rose-toned earrings or green bangles.

Where can I wear this set?

The charcoal and white palette is a natural fit for the office. It also suits a kitty party or brunch, goes well at an evening dinner, and with the dupatta draped fully, works for festive gatherings.

Is the suit stitched?

No, it comes unstitched. The set has a 2.4–2.5 m top piece, a 2.4–2.5 m bottom piece and a 2.3–2.4 m dupatta, all in pure cotton Kota Doria, ready for your tailor.

Will the charcoal print stain the white bottom?

Wash the pieces separately, and keep the printed top well away from the white bottom when you do. Use cold water and a mild detergent, hand wash gently without soaking, and dry everything in the shade.

How do I iron Kota Doria?

Press it on a low setting while it is still slightly damp, preferably on the reverse side. Ironing from the back is a gentle way to treat a printed fabric, and it helps keep the top and the white bottom looking neat and sharp.
