Lime Green Katan Silk Suit, Pink Spiral Print | Bagiya

Pink spirals and pale blue sprays run over a lime green silk that lifts in daylight.

Why this piece

• Genuinely hand block printed, never screened or machine printed


• Colour-fast: the pink will not run into the green on the first wash


• Fringed edging on the top piece, printed to a wave along the roll edge

The print

The spirals repeat at a steady, medium rhythm, and between them sit single blue floral sprays that break the pattern up rather than crowd it. It reads graphic from a distance and detailed up close, which is why this one photographs flatter than it wears.

Along the roll edge the block changes to a wave, so the finished dupatta already carries an edge treatment without any extra trim.

Wearing it

Lime is a daylight colour. Stitch it as a straight kurta with the bottom for office and daily wear, or add a fitted sleeve and a plain gold-toned jhumka for a daytime function. Keep jewellery warm-metal and minimal; the print is doing the talking.

Most block print you find at this price is cotton. Getting the same genuine hand-block craft on a silk that drapes and holds a sheen is the reason to take this one over a cotton set.

Small shifts in the print, a motif set a little off its neighbour, a shade that deepens where the block pressed twice: these are the marks of a hand at work, not flaws in the cloth.

Is this really hand block printed, or is it a printed imitation?
It is genuinely hand block printed, using hand-carved wooden blocks pressed by artisans in Bhagalpur. You can see it in the spirals: the spacing shifts slightly between repeats and the depth of pink varies from one impression to the next, which a screen or roller print never does.

Will the colours bleed when I wash it?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash. Dry clean it the first time to settle the finish, then a gentle cold hand wash is enough.

What does this unstitched set include?
Three pieces: a 2.5 m top and a 2.5 m bottom, both 44 to 45 inches wide, and a 2.5 m dupatta 35 to 36 inches wide. Nothing is stitched, so your tailor cuts the silhouette you want.

Is there enough fabric for a larger size?
Yes. With 2.5 m in each piece the set can be stitched up to 4XL, and the length can be customised for a longer kurta or fuller silhouette.

Does it need a lining or aster?
No. The silk is opaque and wears well on its own. A lining is optional and only worth adding if you want a heavier, more structured fall.

What if the shade or the quality is not what I hoped?
An exchange is available if the shade or the quality is not loved. Screens do render colour differently, so a small variation between the photograph and the cloth is normal.
