Peach Blockprint Katan Suit, Blue Contrast Dupatta | Chaupar

Peach and deep blue, set against each other piece by piece.

Why this piece

• A contrast pairing: a peach-orange top bordered in dark blue, with a dark blue dupatta to match the border.
• Colour-fast, so a deep blue sitting next to peach does not bleed on the first wash.
• 2.5 metres on every piece, enough for a straight kurta set stitched up to 4XL.

The contrast

A warm peach-orange top is edged in dark blue and answered by a dark blue dupatta, both carrying a repeating circular geometric motif picked out in gold and yellow. Vertical bands run down the dupatta and keep the two colours in conversation rather than in competition.

Styling

This is the set to wear when you want to be seen: festive daytime, a formal lunch, or an office day that ends somewhere else. Gold jewellery suits the yellow in the motif, and asking your tailor to carry the blue border onto the sleeve ends ties the whole outfit together.

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