Salmon Pink and Olive Block Print Katan Silk Suit | Phuhaar

Olive green meets salmon pink, colour-blocked across the three pieces.

• Two grounds in one set - the colour blocking gives a stitched suit built-in contrast.


• Colour-fast, so the olive does not shadow the salmon on the first wash.


• Wide geometric panels on the dupatta and the bottom hem, ready to place.

The colours

Salmon pink and olive is a quieter, more grown-up pairing than the usual bright contrast, with a small blue buta running through the floral repeat to keep it from settling. Because the set is colour-blocked, you can decide which shade leads: an olive kurta with a salmon bottom reads formal, the reverse reads softer.

The panels

The dupatta and the bottom hem carry wide rectangular panels of geometric pattern with horizontal banding, distinct from the floral field. Ask your tailor to keep those panels whole and use them as hem or border. Katan silk carrying real hand block printing from Bhagalpur is a pairing the market rarely offers - this craft is usually reserved for cotton. Block printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day.

The geometric bands do not repeat with machine precision, and the butas sit a fraction unevenly. Both are the wooden block landing by hand.

A colour-blocked set means the blocks travel twice - once over the salmon length and again over the olive, with the pigments mixed to sit correctly on each ground. In Bhagalpur that judgement belongs to the printer, who knows how a colour will read once the silk has dried. The geometric panels take their own set of carved blocks, walked along the edge one landing at a time until the band closes.

1. What exactly comes in this set?
Three unstitched pieces: a top of 2.5 m at 44-45 inches wide, a bottom of 2.5 m at 44-45 inches wide and a dupatta of 2.5 m at 35-36 inches wide. It can be stitched up to 4XL with a customised length.

2. Which colour should be the kurta and which the bottom?
Either way works. An olive kurta with a salmon pink bottom reads more formal, while a salmon kurta with an olive bottom is softer and better for daytime. The dupatta carries both, so it ties whichever you choose.

3. Will the two colours run into each other in the wash?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash. Dry clean it the first time, then wash gently in cold water.

4. Do the printed panels need special handling when stitching?
Only placement. The wide geometric panels are best kept whole and used as a hem or border rather than cut through the middle.

5. What if the shade is not what I expected?
Screens vary, so a shade can look a little different in person. If the colour or the quality is not what you hoped for, you can exchange it.
