Wax Batik Hand Dyed Khadi Silk Lavender Suit (T+B+D)

What motifs does this wax batik set carry?

The top has a cream wax-resist floral lattice over a dusty purple ground, and the lower piece adds scattered sun motifs. The cream lines stand out clearly against the darker base, giving the set a crisp, graphic batik look rather than a soft, blurred one.

How does the dupatta work with the rest of the set?

The dupatta is a contrasting mustard with a cream batik band at the end, so it breaks up the purple and cream rather than repeating it. That warm-cool contrast is what gives the outfit life. You can also wear the dupatta on its own with plain kurtas in ivory, black or olive.

Is it stitched, and what does the set include?

It is unstitched. You get khadi silk fabric for a top (2.4 to 2.5 metres, 44 to 45 inches wide), a bottom (2.4 to 2.5 metres, 42 inches wide) and a dupatta (2.3 to 2.4 metres, 32 to 33 inches wide), ready for your tailor.

How can I style the lavender set?

Let the mustard dupatta be the colour pop. Keep the kurta cut simple so the cream floral lattice stays the focus, and have the bottom made as straight pants or a salwar. Oxidised silver or brass jewellery and tan juttis suit the purple and mustard palette.

What does khadi silk feel like?

It has a gentle slub and a soft lustre, combining the texture of khadi with the sheen of silk. It is comfortable to wear and easy to style, so it suits office days, summer outings and travel, and everyday use.

How do I care for it?

A gentle hand wash with a mild detergent is best. Wash each piece separately, which is the safest way to care for hand-dyed batik and keeps the mustard dupatta apart from the purple pieces. Dry in shade, and avoid wringing so the khadi texture stays intact.
