Cream florals scatter across red silk, stamped one block at a time.

Why this piece

• The bottom is left entirely unprinted, so the set can be worn quietly or fully.


• Genuinely hand block printed in Bhagalpur with hand-carved wooden blocks.


• Opaque silk that needs no lining, even in a single strong colour.

Where the print goes

The bottom carries no print at all. The top takes a moderate scatter of floral and geometric motifs in cream and white, and the dupatta carries the most: a wide decorative floral panel down one length and a geometric band across the bottom edge.

Everything sits on the same solid red, so the set stays monochrome while the density climbs from piece to piece. Stitched together, it gives a plain salwar, a printed kurta and a dupatta that finishes the look.

One colour, worn well

A red set with cream work is festive without being bridal, and it carries a day wedding, a family function or a formal evening equally. Gold jewellery is the natural pairing; keep accessories minimal against a print this deliberate.

The silk

Red is the shade that most often disappoints on a dull fabric. Katan silk keeps a lustre under the matte cream print and drapes gracefully, and the colour is fast, so the cream stays clean of it.

Handcrafted in Bhagalpur, and still dispatched the next working day.

Motifs that sit a fraction off the line are the printer's hand, and the reason no two lengths match exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the red bleed onto the cream motifs when I wash it?

No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, so the cream and white work stays clean against the red. Dry clean the first wash, then a gentle cold hand wash.

Is the bottom printed like the top?

No, the bottom is left plain red with no print on it. The top carries a moderate scatter of floral and geometric motifs and the dupatta carries the densest work, so the print builds across the three pieces.

How can I be sure the print is hand done?

On a solid red ground each cream impression stands alone, so the evidence is easy to see. The motifs sit a fraction off the line in places and the ink reads deeper where the artisan pressed harder. This is stamped with hand-carved wooden blocks in Bhagalpur, not screened or machine run.

What are the measurements of each piece?

Top 2.5 m at 44 to 45 inches wide, bottom 2.5 m at 44 to 45 inches wide, dupatta 2.5 m at 35 to 36 inches wide, weighing 600 to 650 g together.

Can it be stitched for a plus size?

Yes, up to 4XL for a straight kurta set, and the length can be customised for larger sizes.

Does red need a lining?

No. The fabric is opaque, so a lining is not required. Add one only if you want a more elevated, structured finish.

What if the red is not the shade I expected?

Reds are rendered differently by almost every screen. If the shade or the quality is not loved, an exchange is available.
