Teal and sprigs repeat across a clear, bright red.

Why this piece

  • Teal is the contrast that keeps this red modern rather than traditional.
  • Colour-fast, so the sprigs do not pink over in the first wash.
  • Angular geometric bands close the length, giving the kurta a ready-made hem.

The print

The sprig motif is geometric rather than naturalistic - small, angular and repeated tightly - which is why the set reads crisp instead of pretty. A band of the same angular shapes finishes the ends.

Wearing it

Red carries every occasion from a puja to a day wedding, and the teal makes it work for the office too if the bottom is kept plain. Gold jewellery for evening, silver with the teal for daytime. Genuine hand block printing on katan silk from Bhagalpur sits in a gap most sellers leave open - the craft is usually offered on cotton alone. Block printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day.

The details

  • Top: 2.5 m, 44-45 inches wide
  • Bottom: 2.5 m, 44-45 inches wide

  • Care: dry clean the first wash, then gentle cold hand wash
  • Collection: Phuhaar

Angular motifs make the hand obvious - a corner slightly softer here, a line a shade heavier there. That is the block, pressed by a person.
