How can I tell this is genuinely hand block printed?
Look closely at the repeats. Every motif is stamped from a hand-carved wooden block, so the register shifts a little and no two impressions land identically. A screen or machine print gives a flat, perfectly uniform repeat; this one does not.
Will the pink bleed on the first wash?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, so lighter areas of the print stay clean.
Does a bright pink kurta need a lining?
No. The fabric is opaque, so it can be stitched unlined. A lining is purely optional, added only to elevate the look.
Is there enough fabric for a larger size?
Yes. With 2.5 metres on every piece it stitches up to 4XL for a straight kurta set, and the length can be customised for larger sizes.
Can I exchange it if the shade is not what I expected?
Yes. If you do not love the shade or the quality when it arrives, an exchange is available.
