Deep indigo printed panels set against plain olive green, joined by mustard borders.

Why this piece

  • A two-tone set - the printed piece carries the pattern, the olive piece stays solid, and the pairing is already done for you.
  • Colour-fast - the indigo does not run onto the olive on the first wash.
  • Genuinely hand block printed in Bhagalpur with hand-carved wooden blocks.

The two-tone pairing

Figurative folk silhouettes and abstract geometric shapes run all over the indigo, while the dupatta keeps its motifs sparse and saves the drama for its bordered ends. Yellow figure borders repeat at the edges of both, which is what ties the two colours together.

The olive piece is left plain on purpose. It is the rest your eye needs against a high-density print, and it means the set never looks busy when stitched.

Silk, fit and wear

Katan silk holds a matte, grounded finish here rather than a shine, with the drape you expect from silk and the opacity to skip a lining. The full set weighs 600 to 650 g.

Stitch the indigo as the kurta and the olive as the salwar for the strongest reading of the pairing, or reverse it for a softer one. Mustard or antique gold jewellery picks up the borders. Genuine hand block work on Katan silk sits well below the price of a premium Banarasi katan suit and does not read as a compromise.

What you get

  • Top: 2.5 metres, 44 to 45 inches wide
  • Bottom: 2.5 metres, 44 to 45 inches wide
  • Dupatta: 2.5 metres, 35 to 36 inches wide
  • Weight: 600 to 650 g for all three pieces together
  • Stitching: straight kurta set up to 4XL, length customisable
  • Lining: not required, the fabric is opaque; add one only to elevate the look
  • Care: dry clean the first wash, then a gentle cold hand wash
  • Dispatch: printed by hand, yet dispatched the next working day
  • Collection: Chaupal

Because each impression is placed by hand, the border motifs align by eye rather than by machine.
