Avi Roop Blockprint Pure Kota Doria Suit (T+B+D) Dark Red

What kind of buti does the Avi Roop top have?

Small geometric buti in a coral-red tone are spaced evenly across the top. They are crisp, compact shapes rather than florals, which gives the kurta a tidy, almost tailored look that stays easy on the eye.

How does the dupatta pair with the top?

The dupatta is pink with orange floral bands at the border. It brings in the florals the top leaves out, so the set feels softer and more festive with the dupatta on, and sharper and simpler without it.

Where does this suit fit best?

It sits most comfortably at the office, where the neat buti look polished. It works for festive occasions too, and for a kitty party or brunch. Add bolder earrings and it carries into an evening dinner.

Which kurta designs work with this fabric?

Kota Doria has a crisp, light texture, so straight and A-line kurtas, angrakha wraps and gently flared cuts all suit it. Because the buti are small and evenly spread, your tailor won't need to worry about centring a motif.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash it gently in cold water with a mild detergent, always separately. Avoid soaking and wringing, and dry it in the shade. This protects the block printed colour and the fine Kota Doria weave.

Who makes it, and where?

It is handcrafted at the Indiehaat unit in Kota under master artisan Haq Nawaz. The printing is done by hand with carved wooden blocks, so slight differences in spacing and colour from one piece to the next are natural.
