Yellow & Blue Colour-Block Katan Silk Suit | Kairi
Two contrasting prints: one suit, two different looks.
Paisley crosses the yellow-blue block, stamped by hand in Bhagalpur.
Yellow on one side, blue on the other, paisley crossing the colour block.
Why this piece
- Opaque on its own - a lining is optional here, never necessary
- Two contrasting prints in one set, so a single suit gives you two looks
- Genuinely hand block printed with hand-carved wooden blocks in Bhagalpur
The colour block
Yellow and blue are set against each other in panels, each carrying its own small paisley and abstract botanical print, with green appearing where the two need a bridge. Linear bands of pattern run along the hem and edges and hold the whole arrangement together.
Because the two halves are printed differently, you can stitch it to lead with either colour - a yellow kurta with blue detailing, or the reverse. Decide before your tailor cuts.
Wearing it
This is a daylight set: brunches, office festival days, haldi mornings. It is bright without being heavy, and it needs almost no jewellery - a thin gold chain and studs will do. Keep footwear neutral and let the two colours run the outfit.
True colour-blocked hand block printing is rare, because it doubles the work of aligning blocks. Most sets at this price take the easier route of one ground colour.

Collection: Kairi
The blocks meet the colour break slightly differently along the length. That is hand work, and it is the difference between a printed cloth and a manufactured one.

Learn More
Are the yellow and blue sections printed differently?
Yes. Each panel carries its own print - paisley on one, abstract botanical shapes on the other - with green where the two meet, so the set gives you two distinct looks depending on how you stitch it.
Will the yellow and blue bleed into each other in the wash?
The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash. Dry clean the set the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash is enough.
What does the unstitched set include?
Three pieces - top 2.5 m, bottom 2.5 m and dupatta 2.5 m - to be tailored to your own measurements, up to 4XL for straight kurta sets.
Is this printed by hand or by machine?
By hand, with hand-carved wooden blocks, in Bhagalpur. The slight shifts where the blocks meet the colour break are the evidence.
What if the shades look different when the parcel arrives?
If the shade or the quality is not what you hoped for, an exchange is available - write to us and we will sort it out.
