Stylised tulips repeat in teal and pale gold across a vivid red field.

Why this piece

  • Tulip forms rather than the usual buti - an upright motif that suits a long straight kurta.
  • Colour-fast, so teal and gold hold their edges against the red in the wash.
  • Complete set at 2.5 metres a piece, stitchable up to 4XL.

The motif

The tulip shapes stand upright in tidy rows, broken here and there by linear floral sprays. Because the motif has a clear top and bottom, the print carries a direction - worth telling your tailor before cutting, so the tulips stand rather than lie sideways.

The dupatta

The dupatta leaves a broad panel of plain red at the centre and frames it on all sides with an intricate floral border, so it reads as a finished piece rather than a matching offcut. Wear it with the border framing the shoulder for a festive evening, or fold it narrow over a plain red kurta for the office. Genuine hand block printing on katan silk from Bhagalpur is a rare pairing - this craft usually turns up on cotton. 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
  • Dupatta: 2.5 m, 35-36 inches wide
  • Fabric: Katan silk, opaque, no lining needed
  • Craft: hand block print, Bhagalpur

No two tulips carry exactly the same weight of colour. A block holds a little more ink on one press than the next, and the fabric keeps the record.
