A plain magenta piece, printed florals, and a blue-and-gold bordered dupatta.

Why this piece

• The dupatta carries a wide blue border and a fine metallic-toned edge, the strongest border in this range.


• A solid piece against printed ones, so the set is easy to stitch into a balanced silhouette.


• Hand block printed in Bhagalpur with hand-carved wooden blocks, never screen or machine printed.

The dupatta

This is the piece that decides the set. A wide vertical band of repeating geometric shapes in blue runs beside a central panel, closed by a thin metallic-toned finished edge. Blue and gold against magenta is a deliberate contrast rather than a matching pairing, and it lifts the whole outfit.

The print

Small floral sprigs in white cover the printed pieces densely, while one piece is left solid magenta. That combination gives you room to decide: a printed kurta over a plain bottom, or the reverse for something quieter.

Each border block is aligned to the previous one by eye, so the band steps very slightly as it travels. That is the record of the hand that placed it.

The fabric

Katan silk with a soft lustre and a graceful fall, opaque enough to need no lining and light across all three pieces. It is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash.

Styling

Magenta with a contrast border is festive dressing that works before sunset, so consider it for a day wedding, a puja or a family celebration. Gold jewellery ties into the metallic edge; keeping the blouse-side simple keeps the attention on the dupatta.

Small variations in the border alignment and the density of each stamp are the marks of hand block printing, and are what make the piece yours alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this unstitched suit set include?

Three pieces: a 2.5 m top, a 2.5 m bottom and a 2.5 m dupatta. The top and bottom are 44 to 45 inches wide and the dupatta is 35 to 36 inches, so you have enough fabric to have the set stitched to your own fit rather than settling for a readymade size.

Is there enough fabric for a larger size?

Yes. With 2.5 m in each piece, the set can be stitched up to 4XL for straight kurta sets, and the length can be customised for larger sizes. It is a good gift for that reason too, since nothing depends on knowing someone's exact measurements.

How do I know this is genuinely hand block printed?

Look closely at the print. Hand-carved wooden blocks are stamped one impression at a time, so the motifs sit fractionally out of register in places and the colour density varies from block to block. Screen and machine printing produce perfectly identical repeats; this suit does not, because it is printed by hand in Bhagalpur.

Will the colours bleed when I wash it?

No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, and it stays colour-fast after washing. Dry clean it the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash keeps it looking new.

Does it need a lining or aster?

No, the fabric is opaque on its own and needs no lining. Some customers add one anyway to give the kurta more body and a more formal fall, but that is a styling choice, not a necessity.

What if the shade or the quality is not what I expected?

You can exchange it. Screens shift colour, so if the shade or the quality is not something you love when it arrives, write to us and we will exchange the set.
