Magenta silk edged in green, printed in diamonds and abstract blooms.

Why this piece

• Green borders on magenta, a contrast most sets avoid


• Geometric diamonds alternating with abstract botanical shapes


• Gold and mustard accents lifting a vibrant base

The print

Magenta is the base, green is the edge. A continuous rectangular border of repeating abstract floral shapes runs along the dupatta, which prints densely, while the top stays moderate and lets the ground show. Geometric diamonds alternate with the botanicals, and gold, white and mustard appear as accents through both.

Styling

Magenta and green is a confident pairing that photographs well in daylight, so it earns its place at a festive lunch or a day wedding. Keep the border whole at the dupatta edge and stitch a simple kurta, or the two colours start to argue. Gold jewellery, and a green or gold clutch to close the loop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this be stitched for a fuller size?

Yes. Each of the three pieces is 2.5 m long, and the set can be tailored up to 4XL for a straight kurta set, with the length customised for larger sizes.

Will the green border bleed into the magenta?

No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, so two strong shades sitting together stay separate.

How do I know this is hand block printed and not machine printed?

Look at the repeats. Hand block printing leaves tiny shifts where one carved wooden block meets the next, and a little variation in how deeply the colour sits. Screen and machine printing repeat perfectly. Every metre of this set was stamped by hand in Bhagalpur, so those small differences are the proof, not a flaw.

Do I need a lining under this kurta?

No. The silk is opaque, so it needs no lining or aster. Many customers add one anyway, purely to give the kurta more body and a more formal fall.

What if I do not like the shade when it arrives?

Exchange is available if the shade or the quality is not what you loved. Screens do shift colour a little, so the fabric can read slightly warmer or cooler in daylight than it does on your phone.
