Polka dots and small ferns take turns across a peach checkerboard.

Why this piece

• Colour-fast, so the light blue and white hold their edges against the peach after the first wash.


• A decorative linear band finishes the edges, so the dupatta reads finished rather than simply hemmed.


• Hand-carved wooden blocks, stamped in Bhagalpur, with no screen or machine printing anywhere on the set.

The print

Panels of polka dots alternate with single fern-like leaves in a checkered grid, worked in light blue and white over a warm peach ground. The scale is deliberately medium, big enough to read as pattern and small enough to stay soft on a full kurta.

Styling

Peach is the forgiving one in this collection, easy for daily and office wear and equally right for a formal lunch. Pearl or rose gold suits it better than heavy silver, and a light blue thread picked from the print makes a good piping or contrast sleeve band.

Because every impression is stamped by hand, small shifts in the print are part of the piece, not a fault in it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the fabric see-through in a pale shade like peach?

No. The fabric is opaque, so it can be stitched unlined. A lining is purely optional, added only to elevate the look.

Will the blue and white bleed into the peach?

No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, so lighter areas of the print stay clean.

What does the unstitched set include?

Three separate unstitched pieces: top, bottom and dupatta. The top and bottom are 2.5 metres each and 44 to 45 inches wide, and the dupatta is 2.5 metres and 35 to 36 inches wide.

How can I tell it is genuinely hand block printed?

Look closely at the repeats. Every motif is stamped from a hand-carved wooden block, so the register shifts a little and no two impressions land identically. A screen or machine print gives a flat, perfectly uniform repeat; this one does not.

Can I exchange it if the shade disappoints?

Yes. If you do not love the shade or the quality when it arrives, an exchange is available.
