Royal Blue Katan Silk Suit, Turquoise & Cream Floral | Kairi
Turquoise-and-cream blooms, finished down to the tassels.
The tassel trim is fixed to the dupatta before it reaches you.
Turquoise and cream paisley blooms, with tassels along the dupatta.
Why this piece
- Colour-fast - no bleed on the first wash, cream against turquoise included
- Tassel trim on the dupatta ends, finished before it reaches you
- A complete unstitched set with 2.5 m on every piece
The bloom
The motifs here are larger than most block prints in the range - floral and paisley shapes at a medium scale, printed in cream on a turquoise-leaning royal blue, with light pink appearing inside the blooms.
The dupatta ends in a plain solid band and a fringe of tassels, which stops the eye and gives the busy print somewhere to rest.
Wearing it
A medium-scale floral flatters a taller frame and a straight cut, so keep the kurta long and the silhouette simple. Pearl or cream stone jewellery echoes the print; a cream inner is the obvious choice. It is a strong day-wedding and festive-lunch set.
Larger motifs need larger carved blocks and more careful placement, since every misalignment is visible at this scale. That difficulty is the reason most affordable block prints stay small.

Where two large blooms meet, the join is not invisible. It is not meant to be - that seam is the evidence of a block set down by hand.

How large are the motifs?
Larger than most block prints in the range: floral and paisley blooms at a medium scale, printed in cream on a turquoise-leaning blue, with light pink appearing inside the blooms. The blue reads clearly turquoise.
How is the dupatta finished?
It ends in a plain solid band and a fringe of tassels, attached once the cloth is finished. The plain band stops the eye and gives the busy print somewhere to rest.
What silhouette suits a medium-scale floral?
A long, straight kurta with a simple silhouette. A medium-scale floral flatters a taller line, and avoiding heavy seaming, yokes and gathers keeps the blooms whole instead of cutting them in half.
What jewellery and inner go with it?
Pearl or cream stone jewellery echoes the print, and a cream inner is the obvious choice. The bottom piece is a plain cream, which ties in neatly. Keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the blooms do the work.
Why can I see where two blooms meet?
Larger motifs need larger blocks, brought down flat and square with the whole forearm. Where two large blooms meet, the join is not invisible, and it is not meant to be: it is the evidence of a block set down by hand.
Will the cream take colour from the blue?
No. The fabric is colour-fast with no bleed on the first wash, cream against turquoise included, so the blooms stay clean. Dry clean it first, then a gentle cold hand wash.
