Deep Blue Katan Silk Suit with Teal Contrast Border | Kairi
A teal border wide enough to be the kurta's design line.
The band is printed from carved blocks, not woven or sewn on.
Deep blue paisley, edged with a wide band of contrasting teal.
Why this piece
- Genuinely hand block printed - carved wooden blocks, not a screen or machine
- The teal border is wide enough to read as a design line on a straight kurta
- Opaque silk needing no lining, and a complete set stitchable up to 4XL
Blue on teal
A deep blue ground carries a small paisley printed close and even across all three pieces. At the hem, a wide decorative band in teal cuts against it, with fine white detail keeping the two blues apart.
Two shades of the same family with a hard edge between them is a more considered look than a straight contrast, and it means the set stays formal even at its most decorative.
Wearing it
Deep blue is the most forgiving colour in an Indian wardrobe - it works in an office, at an evening dinner and at a day function without changing anything but the jewellery. Silver and pearl suit it; so does a plain white inner. Have the teal band placed at the hem rather than cut through it.
A printed contrast border on silk usually means a woven set at a much higher price. Blocks and a steady hand get you there for less.
The set

Bottom: 2.5 m, 44 to 45 inches wide
Dupatta: 2.5 m, 35 to 36 inches wide

Care: dry clean the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash

Collection: Kairi
The paisleys crowd slightly where one block meets the next. It is not a flaw - it is the record of the print being placed rather than rolled.

Where does the teal sit?
A wide decorative teal band runs at the hem, cutting against the small deep-blue paisley, and the dupatta is largely teal with blue florals. Two shades of the same family with a hard edge between them stays formal even at its most decorative.
What keeps the two blues from muddying each other?
A fine white outline, laid from its own carved block. It separates the deep blue from the teal so both stay clear, and the wide teal band is printed last.
Which occasions suit it?
Festive gatherings first, where the teal contrast border gives the deep blue a little occasion feel. It also works at a kitty lunch or brunch and at the office without changing anything but the jewellery. Silver and pearl suit it, and it travels easily in summer.
How should my tailor handle the teal band?
Place it at the kurta hem rather than cutting through it. The band is wide enough to read as a design line on a straight kurta, so it needs no lace or extra border.
Why do the paisleys crowd in places?
Where one block meets the next, the paisleys can sit slightly closer. That is the print being placed by hand, each block pressed with the heel of the hand and lifted down two and a half metres, rather than rolled by a machine.
Will the teal bleed into the blue?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, so the teal band and the fine white outline stay crisp against the deep blue. Dry clean it first, then a gentle cold hand wash.
